Why WAVE3 is unreliable

As many of you are aware the "Louisville Purge" story took practically the whole country by storm. Thanks to the the devoted reporters and magnet leaders at duPont Manual High School, the general public was exposed to the truth about the mastermind behind this whole fiasco. The least that is expected from any media corporation is to give credit where it is due. It is to my dismay that I inform you that local news station, WAVE3, falls short in this particular category. When WAVE3 caught wind that a high school broke the news, instead of covering the story and giving Manual credit they took the story for their own. While they may have been praised by those who believed their lies, they tarnished their credibility as a media corporation. Not only did they steal this story but they also violated one of the principles as well as one of the yardsticks of journalism. They blatantly ignored everything that honest journalism stands for. By claiming this story they completely failed to comply with the principle of truth and the very important guideline of context. If they were tested on their credibility of this story, their grade would be a big, fat, zero. They deceived the citizens by allowing them[the citizens] to think they[WAVE3] were the ones who discovered this information. The abuse of power displayed in this situation is despicable. They should've been responsible and said the information reported on was derived from a local high school. That one little sentence would've stopped all this damage from happening and their credibility would still be intact.
