I don’t even really know where to begin or what to say exactly. Here’s what you need to know: The Sun ran a story about the shooting near Palo Verde High School. The story essentially had the thesis of “Wow, big bad crime has come out to the lily white suburbs. Is nowhere safe?” A week later there’s a book-size correction. But I really can’t do the whole thing justice. So, here’s a link to the Strip Podcast, which does. Frankly, I’m just sort of stunned at the magnitude of this fuck up (bad journalist? bad editors? bad clusterfuck?) and subsequent correction. When people get angry at the media for falling down on the job, this is exactly what they are talking about. It’s shameful, no matter who’s fault it is, that this was allowed to happen.
