News4Jax – Source for false information

We’re always knocking News4Jax and their hack reporters for the fear-mongering stories they put out and complete lack of fact checking they put into their “journalism”. Last week we got the spooky fear mongering sex offender Halloween story. The fact that they put out a few of their annual stories perpetuating the myth that there’s an increased risk of sexual abuse on Halloween or committed by persons on the registry this day over all others, is not surprising. The bothersome part is that they conclude their story with the statement, “It’s worth mentioning that people who are convicted as sexual predators will remain on probation for the rest of their lives.”

Thanks to FAC’s Media Committee for posting some comments correcting them. If anyone else would like to contact the station, their information can be found here:
