What do you reckon?
As the latest example of its increasingly inept and non-existent news coverage, consider the fact that today’s St. Augustine WRecKord omits the four-year sentence meted out to BERNARD B. KERIK yesterday.
KERIK was buddies with tawdry Republican ex-Mayor RUDOLPH GIULANI of New York (now a partner in BRACEWELL & GIULIANi).
KERIK was tatterdemalion Republican President GEORGE W. BUSH’s nominee to run the Homeland Security Department until his sleaziness led to the withdrawl of his nomination. See below.
Floridians will recall that KERIK lent his voice to illegal trash-talking robotic telephone calls lying about Senator John Kerry, only four days before the 2004 election, stating that KERRY could not protect America from terrorists. KERIK’s hate phone call was placed from a telephone bearing the caller ID 111-111-1111. I filed an FCC complaint about it. KERIK’s office declined comment.
BERNARD B. KERIK is as lugubrious a goober as ever made a chair squeak.
His sentence to prison was more than twice as long as that of our former County Commission Chairman, THOMAS G. MANUEL, who was sentenced for bribery earlier this year.
The fact that the St. Augustine WRecKord did not cover the news of Republican BERNARD KERIK’s four-year prison sentence, even with a two-paragraph story, is an indication of the extent to which Reighwing Republicans in Augusta dictate the agenda of the WRecKord.
In their bankruptcy action, MORRIS PUBLISHING stated there would be “no change” noticed by news readers. That’s a true statement. We see no change. The low-quality journalism of the St. Augustine Record endures.
Also continuing is our effort to hold MORRIS PUBLISHING accountable -- we're appealing the refusal of the Bankruptcy Judge to allow newspaper readers to intervene and be heard on the First Amenndent implications of the bankruptcy.
