Or one shot each to the face, neck, stomach, liver, and lung? We'll probably never find out for sure.

You are most likely right that we will never find out for sure. 

Way back in the day, I got a university degree in journalism--I worked as a newspaper writer for about 6 months then transferred to the advertising sales side of the business for the extra cash potential. 

However, all through j-school, and throughout my brief tenure with the San Gabriel Valley Daily Tribune, it was stressed that anything I reported as true had to be absolutely verifiable.  Guesses were not allowed.  Suppositions were not allowed.  If I reported that the bad guy had a .38 Special Smith & Wesson, and it later turned out that he had a Colt, I was in for a serious butt-chewing.  Report 5 shots, there had better have been 5, not 4 and not 6.   

Accuracy seems to have left the building.  Journalism, as a profession dedicated to reporting the simple facts without inserting personal feeling or values, seems to be a forgotten art.

I'm glad I'm old and probably won't have to witness its final demise.

Rabbit,

Tom Gresham occasionally reflects on his J-school education and recites the 3 rules he was taught:
1) Accuracy
2) Accuracy
3) Accuracy

Wonder what happened to journalism ethics?  The Agenda of the Left, just look at the lies the POTUS tells that never get challenged by the MSM hacks.

The sheeple will believe what they want to hear no matter what mental gymnastics that requires .
The communists and socialists have spent 90 years infiltrating the 3 areas most important to their victory,
Government, media, and education .
Any one who reads history has to work to avoid seeing this, many work at quite hard .
During the Cold War, which Party ALWAYS jumped to the defense of any accused spy, and ALWAYS preached a policy of appeasement toward the communists no matter where ?
What Party ALWAYS pushes for unions ?
What party has controlled congress for all but 18 of the last 80 years ?
What Party is notorious for vote fraud and corruption ?
If you answer those questions you will know the source of the cancer now killing America.
