  You made avery interesting commentary on the state of the media in our country. It is theater at it's wosrt.
  I love it when one local news station uses the tag "We ask the tough questions".  The fact is that very few of our local reporters ask any questions at all.  Most are simply news reporters, not investigative reporters.  Many simply re-write whatever the press release say's when they go to a story.  Why is everyone afraid to ask Chief Tuffey, Jim Miller, Jerry Jennings the tough questions? Why does the media not ask Alice Green the tough questions about the real problem in the Black Community?
  We are being shortchanged by the local press on every level.

It isnt so much that we are being short changed by our local press. The simple sad fact is that the over welming majority of the people simply don't care.

The average idiot on the street spends more time deciding what to have for lunch then they do deciding who to vote for.

If the local news station asked the "tough" questions the sad truth is that most people would flip the channel and those that didnt probably wouldnt be able to understand the questions in context.

What is important is perception over reality.

I am not familiar with Alice Green's work.  At least not in any depth.  Having said that, I have no idea why you have harped on her more than once now, in relation to these killings on Delaware Ave.  

If you have questions for her, how about asking her.  Send her an e-mail.  Better yet, send her an e-mail, tell her it's for publication, and then post the whole thing here at DIA.

Unless, of course, you are just looking to use this tragedy as a rhetorical club against someone you don't like.  Then there would be no point in discussing her position with her.
