Yeah, that sounds pretty racist from the story....

It's pretty one sided. I've been on the receiving end of those kinds of pieces. The news orgs never really investigate and you have like 2 hours to respond before they go to air. By the time it's on the air, the story is already over and you just get tarred and feathered. We had threats of violence and hate mail not just to us, but to our district office as well. It was unbelievable.
