It's the trifecta of blame, packaged in the juciest manner possible, constructed entirely of rumour and hearsay...
1. Wealthy, spoiled idiots renting high end bungalows and feeding gators. It's always fun to hate rich people!
2. An evil mega-corporation whose only concern is profit, maliciously looking the other way, in order to cater to the aforementioned Wealthy, deliberately putting the lives of innocent children at risk.
3. A horrifying near-miss story, complete with the implication that Disney staff baldly said, "Those are resident pets, and we’ve known about them for years. And they’re harmless, they’re not going to attack anybody."
The only thing making this less than perfection, as far as stirring maximum outrage, is that the person recounting the "A gator almost ate my five year old!" story is himself a lawyer and his family stayed at the Coronado Springs. It would have been far better if he'd been a middle class, blue-collar dad, staying at one of the All Stars. But you can't have everything.
Sadly, despite having been founded by Alexander Hamilton, the New York Post under Rupert Murdoch has slipped to "least credible" media outlet, behind even FOX. "Among the most recognized media outlets, only THE POST earns a higher negative than positive rating on the credibility scale." http://appserv.pace.edu/emplibrary/pace_poll_061604.pdf
Though, I still do think it's better than the Daily Mail (a very, very low standard).
Nice using a 12 year old survey. I find the post to more hard hitting newspaper that will stomp on anyone and not fluff to the Left as most do. Funny one of the survey items stated what NY readers were interested in was NY Attorney General Spitzer aka Socks, targeting Wall Street. Hey and you have to love the NY Post headlines.
