Went running this morning, so the schedule is a little screwy. But we’re back in the groove. So, let’s get to it.
- So, it looks like while he came under fire for saying that “black folks have been cleaning up white folks’ messes for hundreds of years,” the municipal judge who gave us that quote can actually cite the city auditor’s report that he’s been doing just that. Although the headline is pretty misleading.
- Mayor Leppert seems to be developing a pattern. Charge ahead despite serious concerns, contradicting facts, and the costs. This seems to be the case in the Trinity issue and with the convention center hotel. This doesn’t look good for his legacy.
- Mixed feelings here on the proposed Texas shield law: On one hand, as a journalist I benefit from a shield law. On the other, why should my profession get special protection not afforded every other citizen?
“why should my profession get special protection not afforded every other citizen?”
you shouldn’t the internets have served to blur who is a journalist. This nation is now composed of hundreds of thousand of citizen journalists. Folks who focus in on what interests them and keep at it.
under this law who will determine what a journalist is?
Maybe then a journalism degree could be something to be proud of again and give you more reason to make fun of citizen journalists.
BADge behavoir. -why does KERA hafta display a Dallas Police Department squad car along with this article? This story is about a corrupt deputy sheriff.
Yeah, that was sloppy, Keith.
Yeah sloppy, but no real harm done…
Peterk-I can confess to my priest, or communicate with my lawyer knowing that information is protected, so why as a whistleblower shouldn’t I expect the same with a journalist?
