Fort Worth Double Standard

During the elections, you might remember a candidate (running against an incumbent) had a run in with some Fort Worth Bike Cops.  The local paper told you all about it, the incumbent even commented on it.  WHY didn't we see the incumbent's run in with the Fort Worth police/courts in the local paper?  Seems Sal Espino's wife was pulled over in 2009, she was then late to court in 2010, it caused some waves in Cowtown, but you never heard any of that.  WHY?  Did you hear Sal sent a letter saying he was going to get an audit and a sunset review for the department involved?  Yeah, us either.  Wonder WHY the "news" didn't mention any of that.

Watch the report on WFAA.com. 

Let's see - she was speeding, she was late to court, she may or may not, depending on WHO you believe, have said, "Do you know who my husband is?"  And the court needs to be audited??

WHY would the media not tell you this last year?  Prior to the election?

I find it ironic that you complain about the news not having "news" but yet hear you are spreading their garbage. Maybe you havent heard but Mrs. Espino still got the ticket, still went to court, and still has a pending trial. Oh and did the part in the news report that says Mr. Espino didnt order a review/audit and apologize mean nothing. So yeah, thanks for spreading the "news".

Yes, "hear" we are. We find it ironic that you, dear Anon, are okay with the fact an audit and review were "threatened" and the "news" never brought that to light during elections. Is it ironic that the apology was made on the "news"? Now let's see, WHY would YOU be okay with that?
