Appears that here is another example of an uneducated moron producing news stories. He needs to sue channel 5's a$$ off.

"They need to make an apology or say the product they put in the back of the pickup was not straight ammonium nitrate," Mike said. "They need to tell the truth -- they purchased a lawn fertilizer."

Is somebody bucking to be the next "60 Minutes" producer?

McGraw's customers, and all the local people quoted in this article need to complain to the TV station and DEMAND that the story be set straight!! Articles refuting the TV piece need to appear on the front page, above the fold of all the newspapers in all the markets in which this tv show aired as well!

These alleged journalists need to be blacklisted, and be forced to work as night managers in convenience stores, just to experience actual terror.

The best way to accomplish that is by a large, loud lawsuit by the victim of their libel.

Hey, these TV folks are just taking their cue from "their heros"---Mary Mapes and Dan Rather--"making up" the news rather than reporting it.

Remember, we bought 500 pounds

Wrong!You(not you kid in kc) bought 500 pounds of 20-10-10.You only bought 100 pounds of nitrogen.

500lbs x .20 = 100lbs of actual N.If spreading this on a 44,000sq ft(1 acre) lot,you would be spreading 2.27 lbs per 1000 sq ft.Hardly unheard of.(100 total lbs of N / 44)

But, but, the reporter had a memo faxed from Kinko's saying the stuff could explode. Isn't that a "unimpeachable source"???

To whom it may concern,

I just finished reading the Tonganoxie Mirror's story concerning Bill McGraw and I must say that I find myself quite disgusted. To air the vile personal attack against Mr. McGraw was an egregious abuse of the power that the founding fathers of this nation held in high enough regard to make it #1 on our Bill of Rights. It is a power which 'journalists' like Dave Helling are obviously unable to wield responsibly.

Should Mr. McGraw take legal action against your station, I would hope that you would do the honorable thing and settle with him, as well as lead numerous broadcasts (as well as commercials) exonerating him with a retraction and an apology. Full page print ads in the KC Star would also be in order, to insure that everyone knows that Mr. McGraw is an honest businessman and not the criminal you painted him out to be.

The smear need only be applied once, and can never be fully removed, but a thorough effort to remove the filth applied by Mr. Helling and his crew is would be the right and decent thing to do.

Regards,
XXXX
