In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

BREACH OF FAITH?: -- ST. AUGUSTINE RECORD TRAMPLING OF JOURNALISTIC ETHICS – PRINTING SELECTED REPUBLICAN POLL EXCERPTS -- FICKLE FINGER OF FATE AWARD
Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award
BREACH OF FAITH?: -- ST. AUGUSTINE RECORD TRAMPLING OF JOURNALISTIC ETHICS – PRINTING SELECTED REPUBLICANS-ONLY POLL EXCERPTS
I could not believe my eyes this morning. See below
A Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award goes to the St. Augustine Record newspaper for its habitually biased political reporting, as most recently demonstrated July 24th by a front-page story on portions of a Republican poll allegedly made available by an elected Republican Party official up for re-election, who deleted poll results about his race.
The suspect Republican poll questioned only Republicans, not Democrats, Libertarians, Greens or Independents.
Apartheid politics of division?
Glowingly galactically stupid Gooberishness?
As Adlai Stevenson said, "I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance."
Invite our friends at the Record to practice journalism without fear or favor, complying with the applicable standard of care and from this day forward free of gratuitous editorial opinions by biased reporter Peter Guinta.
Reckon the Record could actually do its own reporting.
The truth will set us free.
