Did You Now????

In the following post, the names have been blocked out to protect the innocent and the guilty.

Do me a favor and read this sentence, which was on a television station's broadcast and on its website:

"The *%^& $* News Investigators have discovered rare footage of the missing teen before she disappeared."

Interesting. It's the exact same video that we and every other television station and cable news outlet ran of Natalie Holloway. In fact I saw it on Fox News the night before. We got ours on the network news feed. I wonder where they discovered theirs? Under a rock? Behind a secret trap door in an old haunted mansion?

I just think that's misleading the viewers to say we "discovered." It just gives the idea that they were really out working hard to find this video.
