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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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?
