The more conflicting sides there are to a story, the harder it is to tell. This becomes especially true if that story involves imagery that we understand to make specific, inflammatory statements and that imagery appears in the middle of a chaotic scene.
But no matter how difficult a story is to tell, it's still somebody's job to try and make sense of it all when the story makes a big enough impact.
And The Washington Post's ability to tell a particularly heated story was recently the subject of a massive lawsuit that seems to have reached its conclusion...at least for now.
