Did cardinal points just serve as a portal for AXP's press release for damage control?The other young men have their names printed in this article -- which would come up in a simple google search-- and they were not even given the chance to defend themselves or tell their side of the story like Correra was.On another note, the article is working so hard to keep race relations out of the incident, so why would you state "one group consisting of AXP fraternity members and the other consisting of black males" Is this implying that AXP fraternity members cannot be black males? or that black males just always "approach violently"Let's think a little further into our reporting and keep some journalistic integrity when we are reporting on stories that can seriously impact the public perception of youth. This is not TMZ or some gossip column, its an award winning college newspaper, so when we put reporters on stories like this, i think they should consider getting the whole story before printing.
