WGAL-TV: Silence re F & M Security Officers excesses

WATCHDOG: WGAL not "the one to count on"

What’s up, Channel 8?

1) You didn't bother attending the 2 p.m. Wednesday news conference held at Mulberry Art Studios where Ron Harper, Jr. and Christiaan A. Hart Nibbrig, co-publishers of Lancaster Post described their chilling arrest by the F&M Public Safety Officers. Two other TV stations were represented .

2) There was not a single word about this story on your 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. newscast.

3) By 7 a.m. this morning, the story was not posted on your web site.

When the First Amendment has been allegedly assaulted by local authority, this is a major story – and the WATCHDOG suggests it is more important than school yearbooks being printed with errors.

Are you indeed the "one to count on?"
