What a enchanting story! It makes me fell all warm and fuzzy to see another family, complete with grandma, moving into public housing? Movin’ on up baby!
Of course, most of the day appears to have been spent on people introducing rumors about the mother and two children killed in Illinois and Lacy Clay.
Why does a newspaper allow people to speculate about murders? It’s a really bizarre situation where people are spreading rumors about a man with no evidence in the Illinois case and yet there are multiple accusations and speculative claims about what must have happened.
What is the purpose of that even? It’s certainly libelous and worse, hurtful. It serves no purpose.
In the case of Clay, there are multiple claims about what Lacy has done, but other than his wife’s letter no support for it. Why is the speculation about his fidelity legitimate? The same sort of nonsense was taking place with rumors about Matt Blunt and the content of the e-mails and I believe the P-D did a fairly good job of stopping those as they should.
It may well be that Lacy Clay was cheating on his wife, but random anonymous comments in stories shouldn’t be where that is introduced.
