no, it's whitewashing. if police bought pitiable shoplifters cartons of eggs at the rate of one every 28 hours, maybe I'd have some sympathy. but this behavior is atypical, that's why it's "news". one good apple doesn't cure the barrel, but if you pull it out and show it to someone you might be able to trick them into buying your rot.
