Memphis Station Called Out For Story (Patreon)

The Cox station in Memphis WHBQ did a story on a 21-year veteran of the Memphis Fire Department, Mack Bond, was shot and killed at a local park. 

The headline of the story the station posted read like this:

The story then goes onto say:

"There were several men by themselves driving through or parked along with various spots throughout the park. It seems like as soon as they saw our FOX13 logo, several of them immediately got out of there."

Seems the station is using a really broad brush on this one. 

Was every guy that drove to the park cruising for gay sex? 

I saw a guy at the park the other day that stopped to eat his lunch, was he also looking for gay sex? 

The Fox 13 story says,

Was the firefighter looking for sex from Wells or his girlfriend and was he really looking for sex at all, or was this just a murder suspect lying? 

A longtime firefighter is dead and the station seems to be trying to pin this on guys looking for sex.
