Shameful example of "journalism"...

Yesterday on the 11 o'clock news, Channel 12 ran a story about the movie "The Purge." In the movie, during a fictional 12 hours, people are allowed to carry out any crime with abandon. Louisville, Detroit and other cities have been threatened with this "purge" period, and nothing has happened. Channel 12 found out that our own Lake Worth is on the list, so they came here, interviewed a Commissioner, talked about anarchists in Lake Worth, etc. The conclusion was when the reporter talked to the anarchists here (?), they said that they were political, not criminal.

This is news? Irresponsible seems too tame of a word. You have a story where just the dissemination of it could cause trouble and you put it as the lead of the 11 o'clock news.

And it turns out that this came from a high school student's "oddball" tweet. You can read about it here.

Sheesh!
