Taking statements from FORUM POSTINGS? Did the reporter attend the same school where it's okay to conduct research for academic papers on forums?
This is a campus publication, correct? Is it an "alternative" news "source"? Even college newspapers have standards and protocol in obtaining statements, whether it's a credentialed witness, anonymous informant, or "man on the street". The reporter's job is to establish context of the person and statement. Taking a random post somewhere is irresponsible "reporting". (I majored in English/Journalism)
Sigh.
