I've also experienced this first hand. Even when witnesses were cited, the story was wrong. The witnesses didn't know the full story themselves, but the writers didn't care. They had their story and that's all that mattered.

Much smaller scale, but I was required to attend a county comissioners meeting several years ago. I read about it in the paper of a large-ish city's newspaper the next day and my view of news changed forever.

Having had many cases with press attention & setting aside biases of those interviewed, two things strike me about press coverage of legal proceedings: (1) reports always get something wrong & (2) they generally focus on some aspect of the proceedings other than the main event.

Agreed! I think it was their strategy to use the lack of understanding of legal process and procedure against a lot of people. It is a shame it wasn't used to educate. Just wasted air space full of bias and misinformation.

I once sent in a letter to the editor to the Gainesville Sun. They printed it but left out the most crucial sentence, which then completely mischaracterized the point I was making. After a back and forth they claimed it was because “of space” but that was weirdest one to omit.

It also happens when reporting on things in the business pages. I have worked in highly specialized areas of finance. invariably, when I read articles about those areas (not even exposes, just anodyne news), details are incorrect. Not intentional, I think, just nuance they miss.
