In the last few weeks, one story has emerged that not only shocked the town of Pensacola, Florida, but it sent shockwaves through the entire country.  This is story of the murders of Byrd and Melinda Billings, the Pensacola family who had 12 children, most of whom were adopted, and most of whom were special needs children.  This story not only pulled at our heart strings, but it also highlighted the growing problem of American journalism.  Few reporters have been out there asking the tough questions and helping investigators solve the case.  Mike Papantonio is joined by Rick Outzen, publisher of the Independent Weekly and a contributor for The Daily Beast, who has actually been one of the leading journalists on the story, and hes made some startling discoveries about the case.
