To the writer of this report… What the hell does the Manchester Hyatt have to do with the shooting? If the only tie is that Gays were protesting and a Gay Man was shot…that’s an awfully big stretch there Einstein! Stay on topic!

Rick, Robert, and Mac, I am behind those comments %100. This story clearly should have been split into two separate news pieces. The opening sentence is not structured right because it does not state exactly what the story was about. I did not realise that the man had died until the fourth sentence. Though I have noticed the vast majority of news stories on this site are from Associated Press, not from 365 news centre staff, so we cannot blame them for all the mistakes we find on this site.

I’ve been continually amazed at the sloppy, often incomprehensible, mangled pieces by the staff at 365. Obviously, nobody ever even bothers to simply read over what they’ve written before posting, let alone have someone else proof it– like, an editor! Duh!– as is standard at ANY news site.
I just don’t get it. Do Planet Out, prior, and Logo, now, not even check to see if the staff they’ve hired to report the news are literate? It’s not like this is some blog written by a high school dropout between bouts of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. 365 is supposed to represent the gay angle of the news media, and people do in part judge the gay community on the quality of this and other sites’ coverage.

Ditto Rick & Robert. Unfortunately, sloppy editing has always been the norm at 365gay. I’ve often wondered who edits and/or PROOFREADS the articles since they often contain spelling and grammatical errors. This one meandering into a different subject doesn’t surprise me.

I believe that this is an Internal matter. Hyatt is a “Franchise” and as such can pull its name. However in so doing Hyatt may have to refund any portion Mr manchesters Money left over from the Franchise Contract.
When buying a Franchise; One must comply with That particular Franchise’s Guidelines. Wether it be McDonalds or Hyatt, or Disney. If the Parent Co. deems that particular Person or People Unsutable to Carry that name then they must show Just cause and can then Pull the Said Franchhise.

I second that, Rick. This is the first time I’ve visited the site, and the writing in this article raises red (not rainbow) flags.

This report should probably be two separate stories. From, “On Friday dozens of LGBT activists picketed the Manchester Grand Hyatt…” through the end of the article has very little to do with the subject matter the article began with.
