        Mr. Tucker, you are a hero. Your selfless act was awesome & I hope you receive nothing but positive recognition for your deed. Best wishes.

        Why can't he just be a good Samaritan? why note that's he's a ex-con?

        Because ex cons are socially viewed as "likely to return to behaviors that put them in prison."--- headline helps break the steep-type

        スコット Retweeted CBS News

        Rather than using his name, Aaron Tucker, @CBSNews first tweeted “ex-con” and now rewrote the tweet as “ex-prisoner”.https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/886294297515085825 …

        It's called a hook, it's meant to draw people's eye so they read the story. Many may not read a story w/ the headline "Aaron Tucker skipped

        An irresponsible, lazy, and disrespectful hook. In my 15 years in news journalism, this would never have passed editorial.

        I do think standards are getting much more lax. There definitely had been a blurring of the line between news and infotainment.

        Yes, the internet has enabled this degradation of editorial quality for clicks and internet virality. Plus, quality of social-media staff.

        First it’s “ex-con”. Now it’s “ex-prisoner”. How about “Aaron Tucker”? What the fuck is the matter with you?
