Have you ever encountered a moment in where you read a newspaper and you know that it's wrong?



I've know 2 occasions where it happened. The first being when my mum tried a new thing in university years ago and she was interviewed and she thought it was a waste of time but in the newspaper, it said that she said that it was great and she got her nursing degree because of it. And another occasion, which happened when I was in holiday last week. In a stadium called The Gnoll (A Welsh stadium in a town called Neath) it said that after the match (A rugby league match between Welsh team Crusaders against a team called the Castleford Tigers) there were fights and drunk woman peeing on the road. And I was there but I saw none of that.Funnily enough it interviewed the clubhouse's manager and he says that he didn't see anything like that as well.
 
Um, I have read online sources and I believe online news papers. But yes, I often read things in official publications where I already know another side of the story and they either frame it in a different light or omit certain things to make it appear in a certain way.
