KEN WHITE: Bad Writing, Bad Editing, Bad Grasp of Law: An Example of Awful Legal Coverage. “Perhaps you’ll say that the bad reporting here was just in the lede, not in the heart of the story. But the lede is all that many people read. The lede gets picked up as the hook for the story. The lede gets repeated and cited and argued by people talking about the news. An ignorant lede promotes ignorance. This is an ignorant lede.”

White writes, “One of my most constant gripes is that the media does a terrible job of covering legal issues.” They do a terrible job in many areas. This just happens sticks out to White because he’s a lawyer.
