Wire 58: Omar's Dead!!!!

In a strange turn of events on last night's episode. Omar was shot dead by baby hopper. Now I think his death was even more significant than Stringer Bell's (Sorry Idris) Omar was my favorite character on the show.

Back in the newsroom, all hell is starting to break out. Gus is becoming even more suspicious of the homeless stories Templeton the Fabricator is putting out there. I am so glad when Gus took a stand against running TtF's lede, citing the sourcing policy.

But I was puzzled when Gus decided against writing a story about Omar in the paper, even though he was a big player in the drug game.

The only media highlight was that the cub reporter Mike Fletcher is going to write a story about Bubbles. So props to him and Gutierrez.
