Here's another manipulation by a newschannel desperate for viewers.

A young lady was travelling home from the city with 2 of her friends. Some...evil threw a brick off a bridge as the car passed under and it smashed through the back window and hit the girl on her head.

She now lies in an induced coma after doctors had to remove part of her skull. Shocking stuff and I'll come to that later.

The newschannel manipulation concerns the shot of the offending rock taken as it was from ground level to accentuate the size of the rock to the 'half brick' it was claimed to be. A head high shot revealed it to be more a quarter brick. Not the point I know, but nevertheless, I would like to judge things on actual sizes, not the exaggerated view of a biased TV station.

Just another example of how the truth takes a back seat to manipulation in order to attraact viewers.
