Every day when I walk outside to pick up that ever decreasing newspaper, The Tampa Tribune, I ask myself why I continue my subscription. I have paid for a year & so I have about 6 months to go, but really, it is pretty much worthless to me, except maybe on Sunday.
But even more I wonder where real journalists have disappeared to. My Uncle worked for the Chicago Tribune way back when, he was a tough reporter, you know the kind with a pencil in his hat, always looking for a story in a day when stories were plentiful.
Are there no more newspaper men left in this world? Have people lost their curiosity, is it bred out of them in public school & then Left leaning liberal colleges? We have been watching the undercover videos made by two young people, two REAL journalists. Undercover. Unafraid. Getting the story. Are there anymore like these two?
Tampa Tribune, what happened to your guts? Did you lose them when you decreased in size, when you laid so many people off, did you lay off the brave reporters? Are your reporters now like Charlie Gibson, totally unaware of the ACORN scandal? Check out the uncut videos & the transcripts on www.biggovernment.com.
I am asking WHO in the Tampa Bay area is going to launch an investigation into our own ACORN office. Here is their address in case you have no one with enough gumption to find it on their own. Also how much funding do they get from the state & the county? Maybe they are clean, but why not check, just for the fun of it.
ACORN Housing Corp
3007 W. Cypress St., Suite 2
Tampa, FL 33609
Phone: (813) 870-3901
Fax: (813) 870-6395
Also, will you please, while you are at it, look into the SEIU connection with Rep. Kathy Castor. Here is the SEIU web address that shows how Rep Castor has voted for her top 20th contributor’s interest. http://seiuorg.capwiz.com/bio/id/36912 In fact, most of the top 20 of her contributors are Unions. Who is going to look into that? What about the other elected officials in the state? Who are they in bed with? (FYI, in case you don’t know, SEIU is run by one of the Rathke brothers. ACORN is run by his twin.)
Are you a newspaper or a rag? You want people to read your paper, then hit hard, dig up some stories that actually matter. Who there at the Tampa Tribune is willing to actually ask some questions that matter? Whose pocket are you in? Are you as worthless as the “in the tank for Obama” St. Pete Times or are you a true newspaper with NO DOG in the fight? Isn’t that what real journalism is?
Show the people of Florida that there are still some true journalists left in this realm. Give me a reason to keep reading your dying paper.
