An unbiased press? In the latest article from the Yates trial, I read the following:
"Do you remember her making a statement, 'After thinking about my options, I decided drowning would be the best way to end their life'?" assistant district attorney Kaylynn Williford asked.Yates said "something about drowning, that drowning was the way," Ferguson replied.
Ferguson testified Yates told her she thought about killing her children for at least three months and thought about it the night before the children were drowned.
Other testimony this week is expected to include doctors who treated Yates before the killings.
Did you catch it? I don't know if it was Pam Easton's paraphrasing, or Dr. Melissa Ferguson's testimony, but the quote shifts from the active to passive voice when discussing how Yates drowned her children. Check this sentence again:
Ferguson testified [active] Yates told her she thought [active] about killing her children for at least three months and thought [active] about it the night before the children were drowned. [passive]
What kind of garbage is this? If you want to share your opinions, get a blog like the rest of us. Don't peddle your propaganda and call it reporting.
