The school connection seems thin

From WPXI:

An attempted robbery took place at night, the weapon was recovered in an apartment, the suspects are in custody; why even report that the police initially searched near a school?

Some of the media seem to go out of their way to mention PPS in connection with anything negative but this story is pulling in the school unnecessarily.

This is bullshit. PPS is an easy target for the media. How do we fix this?

PPS has media teflon, are you kidding me? This seems like a story reported to help PPS PR with the loaded gun found outside Phillips last year.

It's not an attack on PPS, it's the local media exploiting any possible angle to scare soccer moms and little old ladies so their "circle the wagons" synapses will fire and they'll buy more crap from Giant Eagle in a misguided effort tamp down their fear and paranoia and protect the little ones. Remember, anytime, anywhere ... so stock up on milk and toilet paper!
