Just My Imagination?

Here is the headline from an article in the Tampa paper: "Bold carjackers strike West Shore." And the headline for the continued article is "Brazen carjackers on prowl in West Short." Pretty upsetting if you are going to the mall. The article details how this has been going on for a month! What? They are just getting around to telling the public about this now? These criminals have guns and are attacking families, college age people and older people. Pretty much a cross section of those in the area. This morning on our local news station, they also did a piece on the same topic. Really? This has been going on for about a month and on the same day the tv station and the newspaper run similar articles? Who is controlling our news? I can't believe both independent news agencies decided on the same day to cover this story. Who decides what news we get to hear and when we get to hear it?
