Just Another Brick in the Wall

I've been reading and hearing many stories about alligator attacks over the last few days. One report here on Fox 13 claimed that alligators had not attacked humans in more than 70 years. To be fair about this claim, the story had specifically mentioned the American Alligator.

However, other stories claim that there have been 17 fatal attacks by alligators since 1948 - three of which had occurred in the last couple of weeks. Yet another store reported that a woman in New Port Richie could not leave her home because of an alligator. When police arrived, the gator attacked and had to be shot and killed.

To our reporter friends - get the stories straight. If you can't get simple situations like this correct, how can we take your word on complex situations like politics?
