“We’d much rather people read about our wine trails, our community rallying to support the Ticconi and Dickenson Families, our people and our communities. Those are the reasons we started Seneca Daily News in the first place, and they are the stories worth sharing with the nation. “

In other words, don't worry about the erosion of individual liberties and freedom. Have a good time on the wine trail instead!
Don't worry, be happy!!

What amazes me is the utter cluelessness of the editors towards the likely reaction to their story.

The apparently took a press release off the fax from the local police and ran it as is. Neither they-nor the police-considered just how silly that press release made the department look.

Then, Fox runs a link to their story/the press release and basically repeats it word for word. When that happens, the editors suddenly realize just how bad it makes their local officials look.

But...rather than say “man, what happened here? why are the police acting like this?” they go on a tirade about how ‘terrible’ it was for the national news to report what happened...in exactly the same manner as they did!
