Why People Have a Low Opinion of the Media

Cidu Bill on Apr 9th 2008

From today’s Eugene (Oregon) Register-Guardian, referring to today’s court appearance by Joel Courtney, accused of abducting and murdering 22-year-old Brooke Wilberger in 2004:

Citing respect for the Wilberger family, [the prosecutor] did not say whether they planned to attend Courtney’s arraignment or trial. Calls to the family were not returned Tuesday night.
Anybody fail to see a problem here?

(More information on this case is on the Crimeweek site)

But I remain open to other suggestions.
