I'm just wondering if the editor isn't one of those rare gems that is holding off printing an obviously polarizing piece, out of the honest postion of not wanting to fan the flames.
Honestly, the whole Zimmerman case was a local matter, hardly worth the wall to wall national coverage it gained.
While being a larger mob type setting, this story is still a local news event, not something the entire Nation needs to start rallying around.
Honestly the more I look at this, the more it seems this one paper is trying to maintain some semblance of journalistic integrity by refusing to participate in the pointless racial baiting going on. The editor knew a story like this, would be latched onto by the MSM and then get hyperboled into the stratosphere.
Kudo's to them for having balls.
Quoting: Evolved Bullshit, the MSM would have beat this over our heads for months if it suited their agenda. I'd bet this small local rag was given the order to not print by the higher ups. Then I must be confused on what their agenda exactly is, I thought it was, at present, race baiting to incite unrest. Which airing the other side of the coin would only HELP to escalate things. Sitting on the story does nothing but keep the whole race riots angle from growing. You see how it seems counter-intuitive? If that is indeed their agenda, the media would be wanting to splash it all over the nation. So what is the agenda? Fear mongering? Well, airing this story would only serve to help that agenda. Is the agenda attempting to make whitey into the only bad guy? Then I could see them quashing it to protect their 'investment' othrewise it just doesn't add up to the perpetual fear machine that is MSM.
