Stop the presses!

From Channel 12 we have a fairly well done news story about Lake Worth. A rare event and about time! Lauren Hills interviewed a concerned citizen and also interviewed our Mayor Pam Triolo on the new security cameras being installed around the City. The item was approved on the consent agenda last night. It was a fair and accurate news story from Channel 12. So, going forward, we know they are indeed capable of fair journalism.

Lauren Hills' story comes just one day after the story by Jonathan Beaton. Mr. Beaton's story from Lake Worth on Monday was poor, about a D+, even by the standards of Channel 12. Beaton did an interview with Lake Worth Commissioner McVoy who stated he was not happy that PBSO deputies were volunteering in our City boarding up homes. Not kidding here. He also interviewed no one else from the City or PBSO to get any other side of the story. He might have tried however he clearly didn't put too much effort into it. He also referred to Lake Worth initially as "Lake County." ??

Mr. Beaton did a story on senior citizens and driving yesterday. Not in Lake Worth. Here are two images and note how he spells the name of the largest driving resource on the planet Earth in the first image, AAA.
