I always wonder why news agencies make subtle changes after publishing an article that don’t affect the information presented, but attempt to sway the emotional lense events are viewed through.
On Tuesday September 30, 2025 4:56PM Dirty News detected the following text about one on an article ABC did about a recent mass murder at a church in Michigan. You can view the original article in its current state HERE
A nine-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, Bond was a “well-known and loved member of his family and active in his community,” his family said.
He loved spending time with his family and grandkids, playing golf and researching trains, the family said.
In this iteration, the article highlights the tragedy of the situation.
On Tuesday September 30, 2025 8:43PM Dirty News detected that the prior text was removed and replaced with this:
When the gunman drove into the chapel, congregant Greg Mikat ran towards the gunfire, his sister Allison Ensign told ABC News.
Mikat remains in the ICU on Tuesday after he was shot three times during the attack.
“Most people ran away from the danger. Greg ran toward it in an effort to help protect those that were there,” Ensign said. “We’re just so proud of him and really hoping and praying that he will get through this.” Ensign described Mikat as a “dedicated and faithful father and friend” who attends services every Sunday.
In this iteration, the article highlights the heroics of the event. What I can’t figure out is why. Can you? Tell me here on the Forums.
