Crime News Not News

At least not to the Daily World.

WAFB in Baton Rouge ran this story about a woman beat to death by juviniles. The Daily World did not see is as news.

On Thursday the fourteenth a man was arrested for an August 10th stabbing. It was not seen fit to report this one until Monday the 18th.

Also KATC is the only ones reporting on the Brian Thomas scandal, which if we had a DA would result in a criminal investigation, as he is obviously living out of town and perpitrating a fraud on the people of Opelousas. It is also believed that other local elected officials may be doing the same.

While these stories are not news, the Daily World has been on top of stories on Zydeco, Goat Farming, and letters from Communist countries and damning us all to hell.
