WLKY-Bin Laden Politics?
When WLKY had a story about the Bin a Laden shooting that was under politics. Why is it in the politics area seeing as it is more of a human interest story? True, Bin Laden did cause many disasters and committed many crimes, but the story about a military officer taking the credit has nothing to do with that. It is making the interesting important by taking a story about a potential celebrity and making it a government story. The effects of Bin Laden have been massive, but the effects of a officer taking the credit for shooting him will not last as long as the original story of Bin Laden's death. This story is one to ponder but not under the politics section. It is one leaning more towards the human interest section. It also lacks in sources, the main source isn't even the ex SEAL himself, but a interview done by the Washington post. This story may seem important but with a lack of sources and a placement in the wrong category it is lacking in important criteria. This should be recategorized and they should get an interview with the officer as well as the other officers that were there.
