Can you believe, once upon a tine long long ago The Wall Street Journal actually had integrity in journalism.

Now it's a billionaire's plaything.

Honestly, been alive for forty plus years now and no, they've never had integrity in journalism.

Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution

https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/charlie-kirk-shot/card/pdymd1sXXMSlVRhpvR4b

It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:

Law-Enforcement Officials Sow Confusion on Manhunt for Kirk Shooter / Contradictory public statements risk undermining confidence in investigation, law enforcement veterans say

https://www.wsj.com/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-manhunt-e7f3eae4

The WSJ is not going to have first hand access to the evidence, so they have to report (transparently!) what they're told by credible sources. In this case, it sounds like law enforcement

supposed to be credible

is not. It's a pretty tricky thing to report on.
