People often say to be careful what you read in the papers. Journalists want a good story and it's easy to twist the truth to make sales.
Here's a recent interesting headline:
"Ex-private schoolgirl, 23, is found hanged by ex-boyfriend..."
Does that mean she was hanged by her ex-boyfriend or just 'found' by her ex-boyfriend? Well, you have to read the article to find out!
Or this one from a little while ago:
"NASA discovers liquid water on Mars and says there is 'very high' chance of finding life"
The reality is that liquid water wasn't actually discovered... only that there are suggestions that there could be liquid water because certain mountain streaks are assumed to be caused by water. But you only realise that if you take the time to read the article!
