Wichita residents read a story at KWCH, but were left shaking their heads.
“This is a fluff piece! FAIL.” said one commenter.
Some say the actions of the reporter were not journalism.
“What this report LOOKS like is a “predominately African American crowd” found themselves a majority present and hi-jacked this occasion to promote THEIR own ethnocentric beliefs”, said another listener.
The commenters are calling this issue about a black national anthem a race card being played.
“Are we relying on a 17 year old girl to do the thinking for us? From the video it looks like two underaged girls formed the basis for this piece.”, said a commenter.
The “news” story upset many members of the American crowd of commenters.
“We are Americans…not European, African, Latin, or any of that other label crap. We are Americans and need to treat each other with the respect and dignity that comes with being an American. ” another commenter said.
KWCH says that we are to Expect More from them. But the people commenting don’t believe it.
“… and this report has no substance whatsoever about the stance of any of the CANDIDATES. People are going to need information in order to vote their conscience. ,” another commenter said.
Commenters believe news organizations are supposed to report with integrity to them on important issues, the news article just left them with a bad feeling about the journalistic future of Wichita.
“They just proved why I shouldn’t read or watch them in my opinion,” said this blogger.
