This article describes the cold blooded shooting death of a store clerk in a "becoming marginalized" area of Nashville.

The staff writer refused to give a written description of the 3 perps even though there was an eyewitness.

One can only surmise the perps were Latino or Black...given the area as well.

The young lady who wrote this piece also writes for Tolerance.Org which is an offshoot of Morris Dees and The Southern Poverty Law Center

It's a damn shame when someone with such a brazen agenda is given the chance to "color the news" and cloak under the now tired adage of "objectivity and fairness".

To be fair....many Southern papers nowadays refuse to describe perps.

Is this how to post from Gannett?

You guys say title and link only....that does not work.

They describe the car, but not the murderers?

[wardaddy]

Yep...and they had an eyewitness who saw the perps flee and even shot at them.

Given the staff writer's other duties, I can't say I'm surprised.

This reminds me of searching blue haired grandmas at the airport....except that's stupidity and this is Goebbels style lying.

[wardaddy]

btw...this was just a test article sort of.

i am trying to figure how to post from gannett per the latest instructions.

Posting Title and Link only does not work. FR's posting software requires an excerpt.

And I think when one does that it automatically rejects gannett....or maybe the link in the actual posting does.

I've asked for clarification on this ad nauseum

I sent a pleasant inquiry to Ms Hunter, bcc'd to publisher & editor. My money says this is SOP from the top down.

Thar's intrique a plenty in them hills!

[Jim Robinson]

I have no idea. Guess you'll have to write to Gannett.

You seem to have it mastered.
I wouldn't be surprised if JR wants you to be a
mod anytime now. Shoot he may want you to move
to Fresno and be on the Board of Directors.

The description in Jackson Ms is ALWAYS as follows.
Black male 20 to 30 years old, 5.10 to 6.2,
120 to 150,
jeans and tshirt
with a doo rag seen headed toward south Jackson.
Narrows it down to about 50,000.

[wardaddy]

LOL

[wardaddy]

Well...I did not excerpt which seems to be the copyright exception that Gannett takes....

But I never figured how to link and title only in the posting phase since it mandates an excerpt.

But now maybe I have.

[wardaddy]

Yes...the new girl running the Tennessean is a major lib.

Last night I made the mistake of listening to the local news. One of the "stories" was "Home invasion turns violent" I kid you not. I guess home invasions aren't considered violent unless someone gets shot (which happened) Anyway the criminals' descriptions WERE stated. They were, and I quote, "medium complexioned males wearing t shirts and jeans One wearing a light tshirt and the other wearing a dark tshirt " Is medium complexioned now a synonym from black?

Around here your description is pretty much standard too except sometimes "hispanic male" can be substituted (when the description is given at all)

Maybe that means coffee with two scoops of Coffee mate!! :>)
