Who Did They Think Would Answer?

Highlight of screenshot of an AP news story

A short time ago, I was reading an article on the AP news app about a tragic case in Arkansas, in the USA. As you can read in the screenshots above, Mr. Morrison was arrested on a number of serious charges after he surrendered himself to the police, as detailed in the article headline.

So then, why did the journalist repeatedly call Morrison’s phone? Or perhaps the better question is why did the journalist note in the article that Morrison did not answer his phone? He was in jail!

(NOTE: I would have linked to the original news article, but the AP only makes those articles available for a short period of time. The article expired by the time this commentary was published.)

  1. The simple answer has to do with the YP ad in the middle. Its product placement. They say they called his listed number, where do you think it was listed?
