TV Reporter Suspended Over ‘Ambush’ of Home Defender Who Killed Two
No wonder why journalists poll worse than congress.
“This is her idea of journalism? Ambushing a 70-year-old man who has been through life-and-death twice in three weeks? ‘Are you a trigger happy kind of person? Is that what what you wanted to do? Shoot to kill?’ These people pass themselves off as journalists. Monday night, KDFW-Channel 4 ran a piece about 70-year-old James Walton, owner of Able Walton Machine & Welding in
West Dallas, who, early Sunday morning, shot and killed and man trying to break into his business. What made Walton’s story so extraordinary was that it was the second time he’d killed an intruder in three weeks. As it happens, Walton also lives at his place of business.
But today you will not find the Fox4 story on the station’s Web site; there’s a page for it, but no accompanying video. (Update: It’s available here.) That’s because Rebecca Aguilar’s piece elicited a torrent of outrage, both on local blogs (chiefly FrontBurner but also elsewhere) and from viewers who began deluging the station with angry calls Monday night and much of the day yesterday. As Trey Garrison pointed out on D’s blog:
Well, Trey need not worry about Aguilar, at least for a while: Unfair Park has confirmed that Aguilar — who was just named one of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists’ Broadcast Journalists of the Year — has been indefinitely suspended, based on concerns about how Aguilar treated Walton. She could not be reached for comment, but Unfair Park did leave Aguilar a message on her cell phone. (When we tried her number in the newsroom, another woman answered and said, “Rebecca isn’t available today.”) We also left a message for Maria Barrs, the station’s news director.

Imagine if Pope Benedict gave a speech saying the Catholic Church has had it wrong all these centuries; there is no reason priests shouldn't marry. That might generate the odd headline, no?
Doctor opposition to health care overhaul proposals is broad and deep, revealing concerns not just about soaring costs, declining care, possible rationing and a lack of limits on malpractice suits, but also about government competence and motives, detailed responses to a new IBD/TIPP Poll show. As reported Wednesday, 65% of the 1,376 practicing physicians who responded to a mailed questionnaire over the last two weeks said they opposed health care plans that have emerged from the administration and Congress. Just 33% supported them.

Mark describes the various aspects of socialism and how it all eventually leads up to tyranny and totalitarianism. Mark describes, “statists,” and how the liberals are increasingly moving towards socialism. Redistributing wealth is not a positive for the common good.
Wow, hope she has the benefit of a gun if faced with a similar situation. Or perhaps she’ll just turn and run. I’m glad I live in America wher I’m aloud to make that decision for myself.
Here’s a suggestion: why doesn’t Rrrrrrrebecca Ag-geeeelarrrrrr post up as security for Mr. Walton? I’m sure she could find a creative way of dissuading the criminals from burglarizing the property without shooting them in a “trigger-happy” fit (make them cry on camera?) In fact, let’s just replace our police force and upright citizens brigades with an Ag-geeeeelarrrr-led security task force. It’ll be better’n anything they got in ol’ Iraq, I’m sure.
