DRIVE BY SHOOTING NOT NEWS?


On Sunday, May 25th there was an altercation at the Delta Grand that resulted in a drive-by shooting in the city limits. The story was reported by KLFY (http://www.klfy.com/Global/story.asp?s=8383266). The Daily World did not feel the need to report on this story until Wednesday, May 28th.


In addition KLFY reported a story on a high speed chase in Opelousas that involved at least two OPD units being struck (http://www.klfy.com/Global/story.asp?s=8396188). This also was not considered newsworthy.


Finally down the road in Ville Platte, KATC runs this story about another local hero pictured above (http://www.katc.com/Global/story.asp?S=8398522), also not newsworthy.

A letter to the editor condemning us all to eternal damnation was considered newsworthy.

Jedi, Class of 67, Tiger,
I miss your posts on the Daily World. Not only were they true but
the posts certainly gave a different point of view. The Daily
World staff only want agreement.
"We will choose the news and views you need to read"
I miss you guys but I have cancelled my subscription to the
Daily World... try the Morning Advocate.
