Something doesn't seem right
As folks who've been following the local news (and it's gone national to some extent) know, journalist Chauncey Bailey was murdered in Oakland in what is looking like retaliation for stories he had done in the past and was working on covering Your Black Muslim Bakery.
Still, something feels a little bit wrong about seeing the Daily Cal, eternally terrified of ever giving negative coverage to anyone, cover the story. (Neil Henry's letter also strikes that same nerve) I can't really say what's wrong with it. Obviously, even cowardly journalists need to cover this news. Maybe it's because it doesn't quite seem like Cal news, and the Daily Cal reached a bit to include it in its coverage. If they did so out of some kind of journalistic solidarity, then it really is wrong.
