Have you ever look at the crime rate in that area.

"With a crime rate of 69 per one thousand residents, Sanford has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 14. Within Florida, more than 94% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Sanford."
Wow look at FD bringing facts and statistics into an emotional argument.

(Borat voice): mmmm, very nice!

I think the way some politically aligned media reports the news do so in a manner that will bring them the most attention. It's unfortunate but a fact of life in today's society. And that's a big reason why I don't tend to pay too much attention to them, I mean I get my news from MSNBC but I don't really tend to listen to their opinion pieces, if it's anything big there's usually some angle they don't cover for a specific reason. If you are to form a reasonable opinion on a big story you really have to do your own homework these days to come to your own conclusions.
