It's Watch!... Neighborhood Watch. Not shoot.

Did I use the word 'surprising'?

 

Yep, the last thing I am is surprised that such comments would show up on Fox News' website.

 

They're usually about a political issue, and pretty much always get around to Obama.

They're rarely about the hunting and killing of an innocent child. That seems an odd thing to celebrate.

 

No. But, if it's not "surprising", what's the point of bringing it up? It's simply dog bites man.

It's the kind of "evergreen" story that someone can report to manufacture outrage at any time. "Commenters on website are saying horrible things."

It would be a story if there wasn't outrageous comments.

 

I read the first three thinking it was the Fox on-air talent.

 

Every crime story in the Trib's site has incredibly racist comments.

 

I weep for your people.

 

How does this story not get more coverage from the first day it happened?
Are news organizations in central Florida operating on such a shoe string that they had no one to cover it?

"Perhaps the story got bumped so Doonesbury would have space". / Yankee fan

 

Well, that's where I thought it was going too -- or at least that it was an invited guest.

That's what I mean about the false outrage. The headline and link are designed to generate clicks and outrage, with the outrage directed at FOX.

Outrageous, racist comments is a daily occurrence all over the web.

We could do similar stories about the comments on Daily Kos, or Democratic Underground every day. Or a thousand other sites.

 

Sanford City Commission, by 3-2 vote, gives police chief a vote of no confidence. It's now up to city manager to decide whether to fire him.

The two who voted no should resign

 

Amen.

It was the cops reporter's day off.

The press should have been all over this. Instead, they're playing catch up on a story that got ahead of them.

No one at the Sentinel recognized this as a potentially huge story right away? Then, what value are they providing? It took the public to alert the media to this story. Isn't it supposed to work the other way around?
