WATCH BIANCA BUONO'S STORY ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 15TH ONLY ON KVRR NEWS

Has the media misinformed you?
Some have accused those outlets of “click-bait”, a well known practice of working stories to entice readers to increase a business’ website clicks.
The public outrage over the reports resulted in petitions designed to encourage people to stop Lutheran Social Services from bringing refugees here and the comments on social media have been a battle between those who support LSS and those who are now against them.
On Saturday, August 15th, watch KVRR anchor and reporter, Bianca Buono tell us the truth behind the numbers and hear from a local refugee who fled his own country to start a new life in our community.
