A brawl that was nowhere at all?

The Prince George Citizen is finding itself the subject of a little closer inspection (and a bit of derision by some) these days, after a story from last week which painted the city’s police and fire department personnel in a less than flattering view.

In a piece that was published on last Wednesday, the Citizen apparently reported that some of the city’s Fire Department and RCMP detachment got into a brawl at the city’s Legion, that following the November 11th Remembrance Day observances in the city.

Fact checking seems like such a lost art for many journalists today.
