The Outraged Liberal wonders how the editors of a paper called BostonNow decided to lead with the Omaha shooting rather than the fireball that incinerated an Everett rotary:
... Memo to staff: Everett is a working class community in the Boston area. Omaha is in Nebraska. Nebraska is not Massachusetts. ...
BostonNow editors did discuss the Everett story at their Wednesday story conference, at least.
QUICK: Which paper is from Boston?

Again, you get what you pay for...
Omaha story: pick it up for almost
nothing off the wire (AP, UPI, internet).
Everett story: Pay a real live local reporter
(wages, benefits, expenses) to head over to
Everett, take a few photos, and talk to people.
Guess why a subway freebie went with the Omaha story?
Nothing like giving some
Nothing like giving some loser his 15min of glory, thats why he shot up the mall after all.
They really need to push these story's back to local or regional stories. The nightly news is fueling them left and right since columbine.
