Kontan Jou

Friday I made sure I could watch the news at 5, 6 and 10. It seems that the original story that indicated the murder was solved since his wife committed suicide changed to ongoing investigation that wasn’t even news worthy (sensational) enough to make the news. I can’t imagine the damage that the first story did. Our students weren’t told cause of death and they certainly weren’t told she was suspect. They go home and they hear the first news story that is sensationalized? And OH I HATE the news guys voice that makes everything so broadcaster like. Yellow journalism at its finest sometimes.

Today, it isn’t even a story listed on the website of the local paper. Not a story on the TV station site that originally broke the story. And not in their hometown paper either. Funny how things tend to disappear when you jump the gun.

It is very strange how something that will impact us for the rest of the year is no longer a story. Not that I want it to be, but there is a need to know the truth. I can’t imagine tomorrow. Will the students ask questions that we can’t answer? Have they had enough time over the weekend to forget about it? I’m not ask shocked as I was Friday and Saturday. Friday I was blind sided by the information. I wish I knew what to expect tomorrow and how to deal with it.
