Good news...bad news.

Good news! Rochelle Riley quietly accepted a buyout of her contract from the Detroit Free Press in February of this year. Now we know why her ill informed drivel has been absent from that rag's pages over the past several weeks! :hat

Bad news? Now, taxpayers to the City of Detroit will be funding her salary. She just accepted a cushy new job with the City of Detroit. :rolleyes

I don't think it was quietly. She had a farewell article and announced she was retiring and moving on to new things. I thought it was common knowledge she left.

Ambiguous headline. Had I known it was HER farewell from the paper, I might've read the article.

And after reading, corked a bottle of Champagne.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

She sounds awful.
(Riley) has been an advocate in her column for improved race relations, literacy, community building, and children.

Rochelle Riley has been Southeast Michigan's conscience for nearly a generation at the Freep,and the already struggling broadsheet will be FAR POORER without her dogged determination to get the Mitten to face its massive challenges .
