NOTE

Truth Over Trickery

Media reporting must prioritize truth and transparency, rather than engage in partisan manipulation. In the case of George W. Bush’s DUI story, conclusions drawn about political motivations expose a potential bias in narrative framing.

Furthermore, actions taken by news organizations in the aftermath can sometimes obscure their investigative accomplishments, as seen when Fox News changed its narrative to support Bush after initially reporting on the scandal.
