There is very little difference in the OP link and this. So why did you go to the bother to post it??

Are you trying to discredit the Daily Mail article by any chance? Then why don't you share with us what is inaccurate about it?

Shocking story btw. Poor little girl

People don't trust the mail and rightly so. Its a xenophobic rag that doubtless earns money by the advertising on its website. If its details in this story are correct, it would be an example of the 'broken clock' effect.

"Please don't shoot me"

Seems like a reasonable request for a nine year old girl to make.

A young defenseless girl is murdered in cold blood, and all anyone in this thread can do is take cheap shots at a media source......

Words fail me.

Given that rags stoking of sectarian, homophobic and anti-immigrant feeling over the last century, its highly appropriate.

Not in this thread. take your anti Daily Mail agenda elsewhere, it's not like you have to look very hard for a Mail bashing thread on these forums.

I'll say it again, this is a thread about a 9 year old girl, murdered in cold blood. The source of the news is completely inconsequential.

...as a number of people will not entertain a story from that particular rag, yes, it most certainly is.

I'm no fan of the daily mail either, but that might be a bit harsh!

So "a number of people" are more outraged by the fact that the OP used the Daily Mail as his source than the the actual content of this particular story? Says a lot about them.

I'm by no means trying to defend the Daily Mail by the way, I'm just telling you the DM is irrelevant in the grand scheme of the thread.

And CBS, a network owned by a former Secretary of Defense in the USA is somehow more worthy of praise?

I just think it's a little worrying that some people are so immune to the content of the story, they're more concerned about who published it.

We've established via other sources that the story is true.

I find it heartbreaking to read a lot of the tragic and cruel stories that pop up on this forum, it really gets me down sometimes. But it could be worse, I could find myself more concerned about the journalistic standards of the Daily fcuking Mail.

It is to be noted that whilst the Daily Mail article is not inaccurate, it does seem to omit a fairly interesting detail which the CBS article notes.

The Arizona Daily Star reports that there have been some discrepancies in the statements Gonzalez has made to investigators - reportedly telling them the woman who invaded her home was a brunette, when Forde is blonde. She also claimed that some items of jewelry found in the possession of the suspects had belonged to her, but one bracelet she said was stolen from her home was apparently purchased by a suspect on eBay.

Don't worry Davy, some contributors are ,regretfully, like the leopard, no matter what the issue, can't change their spots.

Lots of leopards in these here parts, I'm afraid.

Irregardless of source, the facts are the same no matter what rag it is printed on. 9 year old begging for her life then gunned down in cold blood, by murdering white thrash scumbags.

Sorry BDM, but the word is "regardless" ...either that or use "irrespective".

And yeah, I agree.

Fortunately, you're not the prosecution. You'd have just discredited any testimony by your own witness. If she could be wrong about that, what else could she be wrong about?

Irregardless of source

<sigh>

It's informal, but correct.

It shows in the dictionary, but is considered dialectical, not correct. For example, the American Merriam-Webster's entry says "Use 'regardless' instead.

Or from the UK, Oxforddictionaries.com, "The word dates back to the 19th century, but is regarded as incorrect in standard English"
