Stupid Media Reports

Las Vegas does not have the brightest reporters in the media and this week shows once again that the local news media really kind of sucks.
Earlier this year, a young man was murdered by Tenaya and Cheyenne. the victim was an aspiring rapper and former high school football player.
From the LVRJ: (Michael)Portaro was shot about 11:30 p.m. March 30 outside the Tenaya Creek Brewery at 3101 N. Tenaya Way. Portaro, a 2006 graduate of Faith Lutheran Junior/Senior High School, was at the bar's parking lot selling tickets to a show at Daddy Mac's restaurant in Henderson, where his hip-hop group, Ekoh, was to perform.
Police recovered inconclusive surveillance video from the brew pub's parking lot that appears to show a young man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and white shoes and smoking a cigarette.

The cops, through the victim's father annouced that they had a suspect in the killing, a thug named Brandon Hill.
So, now, the LVRJ and Channel 13 decided it would be a good idea to interview the suspect. Guess what the suspect had to say? Why that he was innocent. Stop the damn presses.

Channel 13 decided to take it one step further and interview Hill's mother and of course mom said that Hill, the thug, was a good kid who would not commit a violent crime.

Of course, this poor non violent thug was in jail for this, from the LVRJ: According to police records, Hill was arrested at 12:49 a.m. April 10 on the 6800 block of West Alexander Road for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a firearm.
Hill's arrest report released Wednesday said police recovered a stainless steel Smith & Wesson .357 magnum revolver. It was found near Hill during his arrest.

Yep. Great moments in Las Vegas media.
