More blowback on the Christian-Newsom murder
I wrote about the Tennessee murder case whose coverage (or lack of) by the media has outraged some sectors of the public. Columnist Leonard Pitts more prominently and more articulately wrote about it, too. Now Pitts has been threatened after a Web site posted his home phone number and address.
Asked by the Miami Herald to remove the information, the Web site editor declined. "Frankly, if some loony took the info and killed him, I wouldn't shed a tear. That also goes for your whole newsroom."
Nice.

Not quite incitement to violence, not quite illegal, but you certainly can see there from here.
