A picture's worth a thousand words
And we wonder why people don't trust the media.
I came across THIS story today, about a New York City cab driver who found a suitcase full of diamond rings in his cab, which had been forgotten by a passenger.
Despite the passanger having tipped him just 30 cents, the cabbie still went out of his way to return the jewelry.
In the story, it mentions that the woman didn't want her name publicized, obviously out of embarrassment for both losing the rings, as well as her meager tipping.
The AP complied, and didn't mention her name in the tale. But check out the picture that ran with the story:
The woman's name -- Lisa Burk Rosenthal -- is clearly visible in the photo.
Clowns!

This does not help advance our Jewish stereotype.

Just for your information, the jewelry was in the trunk of the car, and when she got out of the cab to get it, the guy drove off with her stuff. Maybe you guys shouldn't condemn people before you know the whole story.

I was ripping the MEDIA for publishing a picture with the woman's name on it when she asked that her name not be publicized.
Before launching into your next holier-than-thou rant, please learn to read.
And thanks for chiming in on a blog from a year and a half ago.
