Free Press blackout

**467riverfix** · September-08-10, 07:08 AM

Interesting...two negative and significant stories about Detroit and the Free Press has no coverage. One was good ol Jesse Jackson's rented Escalade [[he's an environmentaIist, no?) being stripped and stolen while he was in town for labor meet. The other, in today's news, about Detroit being one of the most stressed cities in the good ol USA.

I'm pretty sure the Escalade story was in the Free Press. I'll check my papers when I get to work.

Didn't have to go far. It's two topics down from this one.

Why they give that race-pimp any ink/bandwidth is beyond me, but here's his latest serving of shoe leather:

Whoops, missed the other thread this am.

Jesse Jackson's an "environmentalist"? That would be news to me. He might have an interest in some environmental issues but I've never seen him promote himself that way. You'll have to find another gotcha point to go after him.

Don't they make a hybrid Escalade?

People in Chicago area stopped listening to Jesse years ago.
Him and Sharpton are two of the biggest media whores around.
Wherever shit hapens, they show up ready to stir up more.
