INSIDEBAYAREA.COM: Reputed Journalist Killed in Crash
Okay, let's do our friends over at insidebayarea.com a favor and brush up on some vocab.
Reputed: putative: commonly put forth or accepted as true on inconclusive grounds; "the foundling's putative father"; "the reputed (or purported) author of the book"; "the supposed date of birth".Saying David Halberstam was a "reputed journalist" suggests that his status as a journalist is in question. It's like saying, "Alleged Former President of Russia Dies of Heart Failure". It only makes sense if InsideBayArea hates David Halberstam.
