Stupid people of the press

Heres how stupid and inaccurate the media can be...

According to the press I didn't show up to my brothers 18th birthday at the jail.

Lets see...

*hes in jail

*Its an important birthday...the big 18!!!

*I'm only a 4 hour drive to Tampa

*He's the most important thing in my life.

They must have thought I didn't show cause they didn't SEE me.

uhh...there's such thing as a back door you jerks.

In conclusion...That goes to show you that you can't believe anything you watch on TV or read in magazines. Cause people will make up BS without even knowing the facts. Hey Media! Why don't you gather facts, check them, and then give the public the truth? That might work. Oh no...I forgot. You make too much money telling LIES.

Needless to say, I WAS there for my brother on his birthday because he is my best friend and NOTHING comes before family.
