What's in it for him?


We keep getting that question about a local 'news' paper food critic.

In addition to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram posting a fluff article a day on the Trinity River Vision/Tarrant Regional Water District, last night they posted two 'opinion' pieces on the TRWD race.  One talks all about the challenger's donations but makes no mention of the incumbents' donations, most all from their contractors.  From Dallas, as well as out of state.

In the past 14 hours this columnist has posted about the TRWD election on his Facebook page 13 times, 12 of them about the TRWD election challengers.  Those trying to give the citizens representation and a voice.  WHY would anyone who works for a 'news' organization want to silence or impede that?  Do columnists not have a Code of Ethics such as journalists do?

The last post on this Star-Telegram employee's Facebook page has a different tone, he's asking why a local news outlet would be covering a national investigative article on the TRWD.

The question should be WHY isn't his newspaper?  They've had years, nothing (but promoting) was ever done.

So tell us, WHAT is in it for YOU??

Vote BNK on Saturday.
