The "My Fox Orlando" website received "kudos" from radio talk show host Bud Hedinger, host of "Bud Hedinger, Live" this afternoon. 

The praise came during a segment near the beginning of his program, a little after 3:00 pm., while he was discussing the recent mob beating of Lake County Deputy Cliff McMikeenamy, who had responded to a noise complaint caused by a loud party.  

McMikeenamy, after having to chase down and attempt to tase a suspect who had thrown a beer bottle at his cruiser, was quickly set upon and beaten by no less than 12 men, who not only smashed a beer bottle over his head, but also tried to grab his gun and radio.   However,  Deputy McMikeenamy maintained his hold on his weapon.    Two men were arrested.  

Bud Hedinger noted that all of the websites he had checked, ABC and NBC among others, all of them mentioned that the Border Patrol became involved and took the men into custody.  Bud concluded that the men captured were illegal immigrants, something that was not mentioned on the sites.   Annoyed that none of the sites, up to that moment, included the phrases "illegal aliens" or "illegal immigrants", he asked his listeners to update him if a site did so, if possible. 

A caller informed him a few minutes later that the website "My Fox Orlando", on the last sentence, mentioned that the suspects were "illegal immigrants", and that the article was last edited a little after  7:00 am.   

"Kudos, to My Fox Orlando!", Bud praised, for having the guts "to tell it like it is!"

And there you have it, My Fox Orlando.  Just thought you'd want to know.  From the way I heard him praise you, you may have gained another fan!
