I should pay better attention.), but it seems odd and more than a little self-serving for this "Reader Representative" to ignore an important question because he doesn't like the questioner, and then change the subject.

Eight days ago, Ft. Worth's Rainbow Lounge was raided, resulting in police brutality that injured several and put one man in the hospital. By the time the local print media published their first report 24 hours later, we already had a reliable, consistent, researched understanding of what happened in nearly minute by minute detail because of reports by witnesses and victims to bloggers.
