"Baltimore Residents Left Sweltering as Closed Pools Spark Controversy"

A Baltimore radio station, WBAL NewsRadio, faced backlash on social media for its biased reporting on Black children swimming in a closed pool. The station shared footage of the children breaking into the pool, framing them as criminals rather than kids seeking relief from the extreme heat. Twitter users criticized the station for its portrayal and questioned why money was spent on a helicopter to film the children. After receiving backlash, the station backpedaled and expressed concern about the children having to go to such lengths to swim. However, Twitter users remained skeptical of the station's genuine sentiment.
