Looks like both papers covered it.

Losing newspapers in this day and age isn't going to change anything. The ability to disseminate information through other more cost effective measures is there.

As for your particular claim:

From what I read it seems the FBI as of 02/19 wasn't interested in talking to the mayor? But did question CC members.

So yea, they covered it.

Yeah, an amazing scoop covering something that has been on the news multiple times.

Where were they when the shady deals like Rockwood were going down? Nothing. But I guess after several tv special stories on the corruption along with a year of FB and social media covering it, they decided to chime in. Nice work. Real gumshoes! :thumb:

The Star really nailed the Reek story they made up too!!

The Examiner does a nice job covering High School sports and that is about it.

The KC Star can't even do that without throwing in their SJW opinions.

Don't know anything about Rockwood. Don't live in the area and so it doesn't interest me. But you're known for not being informed on much of anything and this shows that to be true. Again.

I'm not defending the Reek story or the examiner. Although I understand your need to move the goalposts.

It just shows that you're a halfwit.

Imagine how much different it could have been if they would have promoted the Chiefs and Tyreek instead of trying to burn the city down

Exactly, you don't live here and don't know wtf you are talking about.

Bringing up Reek is not moving the goalpost dumbass- that is the reason most on here turned against the Star.

I have lived here my entire life. I had a paper route as a kid throwing the Examiner. The quality of both papers has declined as the price has gone up. Their biased spin on the news has also turned folks away.

Since you really know nothing on the topic and only want to chime in to be a dick- kindly **** off and go read your paper while you still can. :thumb:

So, both papers covered it, you say they didn't and then use the reek story as some kind of cover.

Did a squirrel eat your brains?

That fake news rag cant fold fast enough

I thought it was hilarious when after they took heat for their defamation shit with tyreek, they started to charge for their online content. LOL. **** them. Good riddance

The Star could survive if they would return to being a news paper and not a political vehicle. They have destroyed every local paper they bought up like the Cass County paper, and the news coverage is poor and incomplete, the best part has been the sports section but its in decline and the editorial section is never balanced.

I loved the paper for so many years but once we gave it up, it has never been missed.

Maybe they will take time to reflect on how they lost the only thing of value....readership

This. It's been a proud staple and known throughout the land. Sure, it's not what it used to be, but what is anymore?

I see that you're retired and surely remember when it was our only form of information. I still love the old paper medium myself. Something I can relax with in the tub or on the throne.

To this day I get the paper versions of many papers/magazines. There's just something about the nostalgia to it. That and the fact that I can get it wet and not worry about shorting out my $600 phone or getting electrocuted.

But even my 89 y/o dad had given the old papers a boot before he passed away. I went to visit him and looked around for the paper. I couldn't believe he used his laptop instead.

Oh well. It's a sad state IMO. And even worse that yet another piece of our culture has crumbled away.

In the tub? It’s probably been 10-15 years since I’ve heard anyone say they actually used a bathtub.

Wait till you get older and work on some physical projects. The tub and Crown Royal get me through it...

Well shit, I bit on the 5.00 SB newspaper, just wanted to have it as a souvenir...it has been confirmed as ordered, but has not been sent yet. That was 11 days ago...
