Stories that didn't make the wire

Did you hear about the bear mace or pepper spray was discharged at the downtown YMCA at 301 Vaughan St. Thursday evening?

How about the 40-year-old woman who froze to death behind Siloam Mission last week?

Neither are newsworthy.

Not according to emails I've been getting today regarding this.

Makes you question the competency of Siloam and their worthiness as a charity. But then, there is nothing like failure to spur yet more monetary reward, at least in the governmental sector, which thinking has infected mainstream society.

Bear spray at the Y? Don't care. Better than a taser, tho.

No shock value = no story. Newsworthy or not. I guess a homeless person freezing to death on a winter's night is not shocking enough. Like the 10:03 post said "Who cares?" As long as I have central heat and a warm bed to sleep in.
