Don’t they even try?

Ken, official oldest child of NewMexiKen, called to express his exasperation with NPR. He reported that NPR news at 10 a.m. MT began with:

“A New York jury has convicted New York Knicks head coach Isaiah Thomas of sexually harassing a former female senior executive with the team.”

It’s a civil case folks, not a criminal case. You don’t get “convicted” in a civil case.

Individual reporters get the facts wrong all the time, but this displays an ignorance of fundamental concepts by a whole news organization.

(NewMexiKen verified the exact lead sentence as quoted above.)
