Sean Bergin was reprimanded by News 12 New Jersey because he voiced an opinion rather than remained objective after an interview with the widow of a black man who shot dead a rookie Jersey City police officer.

The widow, Angelique Campbell, told Bergin that Lawrence Campbell should have killed more officers, but she later apologized for her statement.

From BHO To Holder to every black leader. ‘We have to have a conversation about race in America’

White person: “Ok. Let’s talk about race.”

Blacks: ‘SHUT UP!”

You're right about CNN and MSNBC... they give 'opinion' non-storp and they're usually wrong. At least this young reporter spoke the truth... a hard truth - and that took courage. Especially in today's 'news' environment.
