More on THE BIG JOKE: The Common Ground (no 's') Church "Story"

The following quote by Lake Worth City Manager Michael Bornstein was the very last paragraph of a story by Margaret Menge totaling 34 paragraphs and a Case Narrative of 18 paragraphs. A total of 52 paragraphs. Then add to that three color pictures (2 of which were very large) and THEN an editorial on the same subject:
"So, all they have to do is go through the conditional land use process to make sure the impacts have been assessed...if they're a small church, it shouldn't be a big deal."
--Lake Worth City Manager Michael Bornstein, 2/20/15
The Common Ground (no 's') Church 'story' is a non-story. Period. End of story.

Now Channel 12 is hot on the heels of this non-story. Kathleen Walter has this report called, "War On Religion? Lake Worth Orders Churches To Have License To Pray":

We understand that she was trolling for a negative point-of-view during the evening. As part of Kathleen Walter's story she included the tree lighting ceremony from Friday night as a backdrop and here is the screen grab:
Is Channel 12 up to their old tricks again? Only 12 days before a Municipal Election here in the City of Lake Worth?

And also consider this, folks. Channel 12/WPEC was the only local news outlet that didn't report anything on our recent Lake Worth Street Painting Festival. Channel 5/WPTV did. You can watch that excellent report here
