The “week that was” gave us TV coverage that was distinctly exaggerated and opinionated. Anchors bemoaned the government’s inaction against increasing crime against women and police laxity and posed hysterical questions to discussants while calling the police “inept”, describing the situation as “out of control”, and even suggesting “iron fist versus iron will”.
