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!

MONOPOLISTIC GANNETT'S FIRST COAST NEWS' JESSICA CLARK IS A VACUOUS, "BUBBLEHEADED BLEACH BLOND" II
See below. Although the City of St. Augustine's official proclamation used the word "slavery," Jessica Clark could not bring herself to report the news that the Obama celebration in St. Augustine was held in a place where slaves were once sold, and where KKK rallies ended in bricks and punches thrown at black people, under the helpful eyes of the Sheriff and Police.
I watched Jessica Clark during President Obama's Inaugural Address. Jessica Clark looked angry, like a Republican on speed, chickenwalking around unhappily. Her story (below) is unadorned for any feeling for the nature of the historic events yesterday. Like the song, "Dirty Laundry," about TV news shallowness, Jessica Clark appears to be a fungible bubble-headed bleach blond, who knows not that she knows not.
This same "reporter" once called after the revelation about the City's illegal dumping. I returned her call, but she never got back to me.
GANNETT'S First Coast News is a shallow, news-twisting, Republican-leaning monopoly combining ABC and NBC affilliates. It is an experiment that failed. FCC should end the experiment and make GANNETT divest itself of one of the two stations.
What do you reckon?
