Republican County Commissioner RACHEL BENNETT a/k/a "PRISCILLA BENNETT" posted on the the St. Augustine Record, falsely claiming hat BOCC Chairman JOHN H. "JAY" MORRIS, JR. did not state that Historic City News Owner MICHAEL GOLD recruited Danel Abel to run for County Commission.
View the videotape, agenda item 9 on the County Commission website.
In response, Record Editor KATHY NELSON materially altered Peter Guinta's accurate news story, posting a "correction" that made the article inaccurate.
Earlier today, I called Mr. Guinta, Ms. Nelson and Record Publisher Delinda Fogel to point out the fact that the Record has posted a "corretion" that makes Mr. Guinta's article inaccurate.
I am still waiting for a response.
To recap:
First St. Johns County Commission Chairman MORRIS made threatening remarks about First Amendment protected activity by Commissioner William McClure and MICHAEL GOLD, the owner of an online viewspaper, HISTORIC CITY NEWS.
Then the Record truthfully reported the news, in a front page news story.
Now the Record's Editor has hacked its own website, posting a correction in response to political pressure -- a correction that is inaccurate.
Talk about shameful!
