Remember that lawsuit?

"Woman gets almost $3 million for spilling hot coffee on herself while driving"

Actually, no. That's not what happened.

Remember that time a woman burned herself with hot coffee she had bought at McDonald's and sued the company? Do you remember how she was portrayed as a dumb person who filed a frivolous lawsuit, and McDonald's was portrayed as a victim?

Well, this wikipedia article tells the whole story as opposed to the greatly shortened version that was told by the press. Reading all of the details may not change your mind about the incident and the lawsuit that followed, but a lot of folks made up their mind about the woman based on a lot of missing details.
