The Bee Wins Law Suit: Is Print Media Really Concerned About Informing The Public

Submitted by freedomfighter on Sat, 2009-11-07 06:52.

The print media often claims that its purpose is to provide information to the citizens. Does anyone believe this?

The Bee recently sued to obtain pension information on Stan County retired employees. Public employee are also citizens. Who agrees this information should be public information?

Since the print media has the ability to decide elections, sway peoples oppinions, and choose which facts it puts in a story or leaves out, should'nt they provide the salaries of all its staff and employees?

If the  print media were concerned about quality factual reporting, all papers would be free. If the goal of papers is to inform the public of what is occuring, then all papers should be free. The cost of making papers would be paid for by Ads.

Fire destroys Modesto house that was site of pot raid - The city-owned house that was the site of a $1 million marijuana bust last week was destroyed by fire on Monday night, according to the Modesto Fire Department. [Local Modesto News]


Maybe it's just the part of me that relishes conspiracies and 'wheels-spinning-within-wheels' theory, but isn't the timing very odd?

Olsen and Council Can't find Money for the Parks But can find Money to cover their mistakes with the Bus Garage

Submitted by truthseekers on Mon, 2009-11-02 06:25.

While Kristin Olsen voted to close Parks and park restrooms because they didn't have any money, they sure found EXTRA money when it came to covering their mistakes is planning the Bus Garage.  Can you imagine the cost over runs when it's being built when it cost Modesto over an extra third just for the plans.

We have to many insiders on the council it's time to send a message of "NO MORE" will we tolerate campaign contributions in exchange for votes favoring special interests.

Barker: Growth Measures Mirror City's Planning Mistakes....What Have I Been Saying...Brad says It Well

Submitted by truthseekers on Tue, 2009-09-08 05:32.

Brad Barker summs it up very well.

Here's his article....

 

You don't need a city planner to know which way the sprawl blows. Just look at a map of the five advisory vote areas proposed by the city of Modesto.

Months ago, nearly everyone agreed that new growth should target job creation. They've missed the target. The five areas on the Nov. 3 ballot include one proposed business park, one area that is already developed, and three large areas offering more residential growth -- thousands of new houses in our city of foreclosures. Seemingly, we've learned nothing from past mistakes.

East-West Express or.. The Expressway to NoWhere

Submitted by truthseekers on Fri, 2009-07-24 11:17.

Nowhere to nowhere, thats the destinations of StanCogs most recent boondoggle.

Why are we being sold this developers dream?

Because of C.R.E.A.M. 

Cash Rules Everything Around Modesto and as we all know it does. The story was that we need to connect 99 to east of Modesto but the DD(developers dream) doesn't go all the way to 99 it starts at McHenry.  Now they claim is local money will be used to fund the lanes connecting to 99 but as we all know we don't even have money to fill potholes so how can we ever expect to build a new multi lane expressway to 99.

Besides if they aren't even concerned about a corridor to 99, how can we believe they ever plan on building the connection.

It's all a developers dream, a fantasy  to once again have the taxpayers foot the bill for developers...sounds a lot like Village I doesn't it.

The game and the players are the same and we are the ones being played for the fools.
