Would not.

It's not that she's merely a "hardliner" when it comes to sex and abuse cases (whatever a "hardliner" is).

She's actually been accused on several occasions of withholding or suppressing exculpatory evidence ... both prior to and during her stint with the NFL.

This is not a person who takes the pot off the boil.

Have been trying my damnedest to bring this to the mods' attention. I shall give you credit henceforth for the marvelous idea

i would take her out for drinks at monarch bar, dinner at plaza III, a romantic boat ride around the plaza, grab a hotel room and allow her to use my body in whatever way she pleased

that woman is an angel of mercy

Wow, she spent 18 years specifically investigating sex crimes by Chiefs. That's commitment.

Looks like Elway's sister. Must have seen the same equine orthodontist...

tyreek wins again

After all the biased shit they pulled over the summer- I was not buying their $5.00 SuperBowl paper. They only jumped on the bandwagon to make money.

KC Star is the worst now.

Ditto. Dead to me.

I am still a KC Star online subscriber (mostly because I am too lazy to cancel the subscription), and their Chiefs playoffs/Super Bowl content was a joke.

Their weekly content for regular season games 20 years ago (with Whitlock, Posnanski, Greg Hall, etc.) was 100 times better than the shit they were producing for arguably one the most historic events in Chiefs/KC history.

Yep, I had no interest in their SB paper or their book.

My parents still get the rag and to my surprise, it's like $1200 per year. Like WTF? You could take the New York Times for that much money.

Yeah what a shock they're going into bankruptcy. Deliberately create an unsustainable price point designed to rob people who couldn't quite quit their paper habit, as you shrink the actual content down to pamphlet-sized. So you're pretty much guaranteed of a death spiral at this point even if your month-over-month revenues get a temporary goose when you raise the price.

Even my parents quit when it went up to $80/month. And they would have been happy paper readers for life at a sane price.

This is the vulture capitalist model. Squeeze every last drop of life out of a business then sell it off for parts - lining your pockets the whole way.

$80 a month for that ****ing rag? Holy shit. LMAO

Regardless of what you think about their Tyreek Hill coverage - local papers are about the only thing that bring attention to local problems and local corruption and hold politicians accountable. It's very bad for the community when they fold up.

The shell companies who own them and drive them into the ground don't mind this outcome at all.

I bought the book and am really looking forward to it.

Our local paper has been 95% AP stories for the past 25 years. What local stories there are drop 2 days after because a couple of years ago they shut down most of the local office and moved typesetting/printing 2,5 hours away Little Rock.n
Thankfully we have a couple of online only publications that are filling the void.

Please let the door hit you in the ass KC Star

Our local papers refuse to cover any political corruption if it furthers the Dem narrative. Indep. City hall including the corrupt mayor has only been covered by a local news channel. The papers have been deathly silent even when the FBI was questioning the Mayor and Councilmen. Our City hall does whatever they want on taxpayer's dime and have no fear of the Examiner posting a word about it.

They take no accountability for their actions like enabling Mac & Cheese with Jeff Rosen in charge

I get the hate for the Star, but it'd be pretty sad if Kansas City lost its only daily newspaper.

Wrong. Newspapers are 90% fake news

What data are you using to get the 90% figure? Honest question. A link should suffice.

Printed newspapers are a 15th century invention that is going the way of the 8-track tape.

Facebook and bumper stickers.

I get all of my news through CPDC! Working great so far.

"Tigers Got Price; The Royals Got Jackshit"!!

Looks like both papers covered it.

https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/e...237850664.html

https://www.kansascity.com/news/poli...237681249.html


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.

Na, that's absolute bullshit. Pick up an actual, physical paper sometime. 90% of it is unexciting, but that's the problem. No TV station or national news station is going to report on most of 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...

The Red Star can **** off.

Old things die...

Yep, and rabid dogs get put down.

Why would anyone would want to keep this menace to society around?

Buy low, sell no.

Sadly this is correct.

My entire family on my father's side all worked as newspaper pressmen from the early 1900's, myself included. It was a wonderful business at the time. :thumb:

I had a life in print publishing and got out in the 90s. I’m honestly sort of surprised print has hung around this long. Most don’t realize what an impact Craigslist had on newspapers and the importance of classified ads to the bottom line. The papers were literally printing money.

Now you have to have content that people can’t get in other places or a print format that is evergreen or tailored towards a higher-end customer who doesn’t mind paying $15-$20 for a magazine because of the niche it serves.

It can be done (transition to digital). High-quality content that is well edited and you can’t readily get by putting in a search term into Google. The Athletic and Wall Street Journal are two that come to mind that have pulled it off but I’m sure there are others I’m not remembering right now.

The Athletic isn't even pulling it off well.

They fired a bunch of staff.

None of these places can pay anyone shit. The KC Star was paying a bunch of older writers 70-80 grand and they all got laid off and replaced with kids making 30k.

We're going to be left with media monopolies in the future.

KC Star is just another outlet for the Dems to spread propaganda- good riddance.

They really ****ed up trying to run one of our best and loved players out of town.

Haven't read the Star since JoPo left. (read articles that people copy/paste on here but that's about it).

And the website is just loaded with bullshit, ads etc.

The one good thing about them sucking so much is that it helped create CP. Other than that, meh.

There should be some Hyde Park estates up for sale soon.

I wistfully think about days when I could read a newspaper and not know the personal opinion of the person who wrote the article. Most news today is really amateurish and biased and uses poor grammar to boot, and I find it sad.

But then I wonder if it was always that way, other than the grammar. There were fewer media voices back when newspapers and the three major networks ran the show, which meant that there was more potential for powerful people to control the stories. We just may not have known it, because they were more subtle than the amateurs who are running the show today.

Democratization of the news is a good thing in theory, but in practice it means that we have to wade through a lot of bad journalism to find the truth. The Star at some point became stuff to wade through, rather than rely on.

As soon as "clickbait" became a thing, it was bound to happen.

The internet pretty much killed the days where you could read a newspaper and just kinda chill out.

I wonder who fired the first shot in that war. Be interesting to read a history of online portals and who started the trend of being annoying for attention.

I'm kind of amazed that sites like CNN have clickbait ads on their home page. Is the revenue really worth completely undermining their credibility? Apparently it is. But jeez, their money home page has links to "stories" that are blatantly fraudulent. Right now, I see "paid partner content" on the CNN money page that has the headline, "Beginners guide shows how to turn $4,600 into $460,164 trading options". And I'm supposed to find CNN credible?

But yeah, it'd be interesting to trace back and see where this decline started, and why.

CNN had to hop on that gravy train or risk losing market share to Huffpost, Buzzfeed, etc.

Funny, I remember when CNN used to feel like an honorable institution....sitting down to watch the news and feeling reassured by James Earl Jones beginning the broadcast.

As if the KC Star couldn’t go any lower with their never ending attacks on the Chiefs… this is the start of their latest editorial, criticizing Andy Reid:

The Chiefs should really consider denying the KC Star access to cover the team.

“Kansas City Chiefs Coach Andy Reid slapped every one of his Black players in the face this week.”

Jesus f’n Christ…:facepalm:

How do these miserable one who sucks the peniss stay in business?

Stupid post Mr. **** Cancel Culture Dude. Think 2 seconds beyond your post before posting. Then don't post this once you see it's stupid to do so.

You are a very unlikable guy. Not once have you been the alternative.

Dude, seriously, what the **** is your deal lately? :spock:

What deal are you referencing? It's not a hard choice to make the right choice. We all know right and wrong. Do you think God approves of his attitude? He doesn't. And you know that.

You are in no position to call me out here. With all due respect. I, however, am in a position to call him out. We cannot act this way. It is not sustainable. Then all the false Christians here will bitch and moan about some things that are of their doing. Per usual. All while calling me the bad guy.

God knows differently. It's the only real truth.

Big Eli is back!!!

I really can't figure why the hell you're acting this way. I don't know if you've found religion, but in the same way an asshole who suddenly quits smoking crawls up the ass of every smoker around him. Or if you're engaged in some sort of Andy Kaufmanesqe douchebag performance art, that you alone find funny. Or if you've just lost your ****ing mind. In any event, you're making it really easy for your detractors to bash you and really hard for your friends to defend you.

Please stop. Please.

And I feel the same way about that odious ****ing shitrag Star that 88 does. So if you're bashing him, you're bashing me.

I feel the same way about the Star. And I wrote them off a long time ago. I'll bet if you take a poll you'd find that most people are sick of the SJW shit.

I'm no fan of his in general, but he's right on this one.

More douchebaggery from the Star? :lame:

see eDave trollin, he hatin'

CPs be so white and supremey

How ironic that they chose the very fine people quote, which trash media like the KCS took out of context, when Trump was talking about fighters in the Civil War, so they choose to take Reids comments out of context and make it about slapping black people.

Like, you can't make this up.

Yeah, overall this comparison more likely to make people soften their stance on Trump than harden their stance on Reid.

The hubris of a junk newspaper to tell the players whether or not a coach they love 'slapped them in the face.'

Those are grown men, you jamooks.

The Star is being squeezed for every last drop of income by Chatham, a vulture capitalist hedge fund. Once it has no more income stream, it will be sold off for parts. They barely even pay their reporters anymore. They have no interest in turning it around.

I am quoting this post to show my agreement with Chatham vulture capitalism.

Media is the enemy of truth and logic.

The narratives they try to create builds more mistrust with every turd they publish.

They only have themselves to blame.
