Voices: Negative publicity


Can we really know the facts regarding Rita Hunter by reading the Globe? When do we get to hear the rest of the story?

Why were three federal lawsuits against Rita thrown out? What are the real reasons this negative publicity is constantly before the public? Is it a matter of saying it enough so people will believe it? And why? Why this powerful force to get Rita out? It’s hard to believe that in Joplin, this is being used to further another agenda.

Let’s think this one through.
