When presented with facts, and a lot of that has become more common know with the HBO doc and Louis Aguilar's long, enterprise piece in his own newspaper, it appears he's changed his course.

No need to criticize him for making his own decisions and opinions on changing his mind upon learning of the facts. I think that's becoming less common in our society so it's great to see this change.

Who knows if the piece will actually spur anything, but it's great to see it being written.
If Finley didn't know the facts, he wasn't doing his job. What's more likely is that he knew the facts, but ignored them - probably because he any investment looked good at the time.

I think the HBO special gave cover for Detroit journalists to finally call out a local icon.
