You release the at-large suspects' descriptions to the fishwrap, and then they delete one part of those descriptions, more often than not, before they publish those descriptions for the unwashed masses. In contrast, KOLN does not hamstring the same suspect descriptions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-91282629634369706052008-07-25T10:36:00.000-05:002008-07-25T10:36:00.000-05:008:47-...a few of the kinds of situations -js- is r...8:47-<BR/><BR/>...a few of the kinds of situations -js- is referring to above: details about cases being discussed on an Internet forum (such as Lt.
