You would think two people shot in Westport early Sunday morning would be bigger news than a car chase during the day where no one was hurt.
Wrong. There are PICTURES of the car chase- no such luxury on the Westport shooting.
Read back over my overnight reports of all the gun violence this weekend then watch all the local stations' newscasts to see the very few shootings they even mention.
A few mentioned the KC-KS cop shot-at Saturday morning- none so far even mention the two shot in Westport Sunday morning. One station so far covered the guy shot while sleeping earlier today in KC-KS.
But why would the Westport shooting be covered up???? Are we spoon-fed the news the stations WANT us to see?
Sadly- this is nothing new folks- led to my burnout on this business back in '99.

Due to my work, I'm familiar with what REALLY happens vs. what is actually reported. I am continually amazed at what the news shows. You never hear about HALF of the stuff that happens in the city. There are incidents that I think, "Oh the news is going to be here." And they're not. Then you see something totally foolish which is just pointless and it gets insane news coverage. Sometimes I wonder if they even understand what constitutes news.
More shootings in Westport. That place is going downhill fast. This is the second double shooting in 3 months. That place is just deadly.
