Disappointed? In Jones? Journalism in general? A little of both?
See, that's my problem with where journalism is today. There isn't complete coverage. Just enough to get people riled up. I try to stay calm until I (on my own) research things that I deem important.
The video wasn't really bad at all and journalists went all TMZ and made a huge, sensational deal out of it. I'm disappointed in journalism in general at this point. To Fred's point about the police, again, if you read the DA's statement about it I feel like all gloves were off when the police officer arrested him for something nobody else would have been arrested for. Jones got furious and went off. Two wrongs don't make a right, but him being publicly embarrassed out of it is punishment enough, IMO. I wouldn't have acted that way, but I'm not him, either. Everyone is different.
