I first learned about this story when I read it right now. Social media isn't as reliable or fair to all the parties as it is in the news. For the news, people could lose their jobs for writing something that isn't reliable or fair, while in social media people can say almost whatever they want without any big consequences. In the news, people are forced to be more reliable and fair than in social media.

I think the story was at the right place. It seems that everything has worked itself out involving the issue and it doesn't really affect anybody outside of Irving. It is a scene that is very sensitive to people in this country, though. If I was the editor, I would have put the story where it is now.
