Quote of the Day

You have to appreciate any 9 year old who runs a news blog, and scoops her local competition on a murder. Well, maybe not, because it seems some people don't appreciate her efforts. For example (from the Washington Post):

...her reporting did not impress some of the good people of Selinsgrove, and they let Hilde have it on Facebook Saturday night.  “I think this is appalling that u would do a story like this when all the facts are not in yet,” wrote one commenter. Her parents were attacked too: “does no one realize that this is a 9 year old reporting this type of graphic information!” wrote a Facebook poster. “I mean, what parents are encouraging this type of behavior!”

So what does Hilde Kate Lysiak, our intrepid reporter, do? She goes on video, reading all her criticisms, and then gives a slam dunk response:

“If you want me to stop covering news, then you get off your computers and do something about the news. There, is that cute enough for you?”

Go get 'em, Hilde!
