I am really sick of your reporting of late, and this on going campaign
about a women who lost her cellphone and mistakenly thought it was
stolen by a minority youth is beyond the pale. First of all, it is a
non-story. People get confused and falsely accuse people all the time
of petty theft incorrectly. It is just __not news__. Secondly, this
report on your part shows fundamental lack of compassion and bigotry by
your editorial staff. This women believed her phone was stolen by
minority youths, which is a COMMON occurrence in NYC and completely
rational thought. To accuse her of bigotry proves your own bigotry.
I've been in retail in NYC for 40 years and minority youth have not only
violently mugged me on subway platforms, in trains, and on the streets,
but they shop lift every day, all the time. It is perfectly rational
for her to have assumed her phone was lifted, and the situation was
handled by the hotel, seemingly calmly and efficiently. There is no
crime here, other than WINS-AM harassing this women for a mistake that
any one of us could have made. WINS is not just making a dangerous and
bigoted campaign to victimize an innocent women, but you are inflaming
race relations in the city. Obviously, you are take a page from the
Sonny Carson playbook for political agitation, which lead directly to
the Crown Heights Riots. It is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
