So, if I read the Detroit News article right, the head of the parade, Michael Kelly, told a bald-faced lie to people who wanted to march. He told them that the police informed him they were going to...

Boy, leave it to the Free Press to pat themselves on the back, touting their interview as "her first extensive interview since her reputation and career became casualties of the ... Synagro scandal."...

First of all, they're frauds because they pretended that there was a "FOIA That Started It All." That literally was the title of one of their stories explaining how they'd exposed Kwame. Rather than...

Sure. And I believe there's a slight possibility that OJ didn't do it.

This seems to be the plausible deniabilty the Freep is throwing out there. But while that may protect them [[or their source)...

Sigh. Unfortunately, you're right.

Exactly. What amazes me is that otherwise intelligent people carry on as if there is a difference.

You offer me a false choice: Either sit on them for an entire fiscal quarter or print them the very next day.

Besides, you mean to tell me Stefani would give these messages to the Freep without...

Joel Thurtell's take on this, from his "Joel on the Road" blog:

During the McCarthy period, spy-hunting journalist Whittaker Chambers hid rolls of film in a pumpkin.

The Free Press has a lot to answer for, and I'm shocked that nobody has brought this up here.

First of all, they've been exposed as frauds. They made out like this whole thing started with a...

....a gerbil? :D

Blow me. Oh, wait...never mind.

What happens in someone's bedroom should stay in the bedroom. There's no need for a "gay community" any more than there is for an "S&M community." Stop making your private business public and nobody...

Is there a foot fetish-friendliy community? I've been lobbying to add foot fetishists to the GLBT acronym; it should be GLBTFF -- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered and Foot Fetishists.

But if...

BVos, I have a perfect solution to the problem you bring up:

Let's say you, me and a group of 10 other households in our neighborhood decide to hire a security guard to patrol. Well, if nobody...

They never got rid of STRESS. Well, it's true the city disbanded the actual unit -- but all they did was integrate the officers into the Big Four, where they continued going around the city kicking...

Can someone provide a link to this story? I checked on freep.com and google and came up with nothing.

This is 100 percent wrong. Police are trained to shoot to kill. Ask any cop; they're supposed to aim for the center of the chest. They're never taught to shoot to wound.

As a columnist, isn't he supposed to put his opinion in his stories? Seems to me that's what he's paid to do.

When crack hit the streets in the mid-80s, it killed a lot of street hustles, not just prostitution.

I'd like to see a Chinese Wiccan trannssexual on the City Council. Because diversity is a good thing.

That's unethical as hell, getting a minor to break the law in order to get a story.

If the Fox 2 folks had information that this gas station was selling weapons to minors, then it behooved them...

So, what exactly makes someone "qualified"? Do they have to have spent their entire lives in Detroit's political arena? Do they have to be "insiders" and "movers and shakers"?

Seems to me those...

Hmmmm...guess you never know who you're dealing with:

The Freep stopped being "trustworthy" the minute they eschewed their own ethics policy that said "We don't imply we have witnessed events we haven't seen or been in places we haven't been" -- and...

I hope they'll at least put up a historical marker for the Scorpio Bookstore.
