Where’s the follow up???

Here is a novel idea, why hasn't the Flint City Council manned up and put on their Adult pants on, and DO SOMETHING? This playing the victim card gets real old.

Yep.

“We’re too black and stupid to do anything for ourselves,” is getting really old.

Four years ago, then Republican nominee for President Donald Trump came to Flint after the invitation of WEYI owner Armstrong Williams and gave an exclusive interview to Dave Bondy.

After promising to fix the water crisis, clean up blighted neighborhoods, create jobs, improve student test scores in Flint and other urban (Black) areas, what’s been accomplished? Why hasn’t the In Over Her Head News Director had Dave or others do a story that looks at how now President Trump’s policies have or more likely have not reached those goals.

It’ll be interesting to see if the new GM does anything to right the sinking ship that is 25-66/Mid-Michigan NOW’s pathetic attempt at local government accountability journalism. (Insert laugh track here.)

It would require some people to eat crow and none of them will do that.

Real “Journalists” have a responsibility to go back and hold politicians (of both parties) accountable for the promises they made and the subsequent actions/priorities they followed through with (or didn’t).

Real journalists have a responsibility to hold the powerful accountable, not praise them at every opportunity, team up with them at every opportunity, join them in their job, and get paid to consult them, which is a clear conflict of interest, but Bill Harris made a career out of it and nobody but I have called him out in it.

MasterB: Agree with everything except one point. The Democrat controlled Flint City Council had no power at the time of the water crisis — as they were under a state-appointed Emergency Manager (hand picked by Gov. Snyder). Yes, the Council was to blame for years of not balancing budgets which lead to the loss of local control... however, the Council was vocal against the switch to Flint river water that caused the water crisis.

Current Democrat AG Dana Nessel dismissed charges against state officials in one of the most confusing decisions ever. She says she’s still investigating. She says charges may be reissued. How she has handled this case makes zero sense. There’s been zero accountability.

Nessel is LGBTQIAMM+. In other words, confused.
