I also agree that instead of publishing the shorter story, they should have gone ahead and done the longer article. If they'd gotten more into it, with more details and interviews, people may have been less critical. When you have something as dangerous as this, and as popular as this, you need to let people know it. If the newspaper had said nothing, they wouldn't be doing their job to the community to inform them of something potentially dangerous. Yes, it was a man that everyone knew and loved, but he died and the community wanted answers. They got their answers and they were still unsatisfid. Go figure.
