If not -- what point is there in your post?
He or she was saying that sometimes, the media takes the facts that they receive and put their own sort of twists and opinions on the story. I think their point was very valid. The facts are exactly as follows before the arresting of Ahmed. He dissembles a clock and puts it in a pencil pouch. He thinks it is cool so he takes it to school. He shows his engineering teacher and the teacher says, don't show anyone else. Ahmed shows his English teacher and she believes it to be a hoax bomb. Ahmed gets arrested.

The OP's point in their post is that all the main media outlets blame Ahmed for everything and not listening to his teacher. The media also goes out on tangents talking about things that are irrelevant, just to make the poor kid look bad.

What some users are saying on Chief Delphi is that who cares about what the media is saying. The real issue is that the police arrested a teenager for an unjust reason. Some other users on Chief Delphi are also saying does it really matter if he didn't invent the clock? The cool part about this kid is that he is experimenting with electronics and learning how to do some mountings inside of the pencil case. It's cool that he is even experimenting with technology. That is exactly what some CD users are saying.

The point of the OP's post is saying that they enjoy a new perspective on the story and are glad to see that there is some other side to the story. Don't give the OP bad reputation for this post. They were just stating that they were glad to see another side of the story and they were just stating their opinion of how cool the users of CD are. Try not to criticize every little thing that is posted on CD. After all, CD is a forum and forums are for opinions. I just know i have received bad reputation before in a similar situation as the OP and I don't want it happening to the OP. Hopefully, I didn't make this post too in depth. Thanks for reading.
