Editor: Hey reporter, do a story about all these shootings, will ya?

Reporter: Sure.

(Later)

Reporter: Police say they have no evidence there’s a link between these shootings. It doesn’t look like there’s anything in common other than they all happened within 24 hours of each other.

Editor: Be sure to put that in your story somewhere near the bottom, you know, after you’ve convinced everyone that the entire city is on a shooting spree.

Reporter: Uhh… ok.
