I hate to be a nag, but are you ever going to report the names of the investors that own the Broadview Hotel. As I tried to explain to the readers, these investors, the hotel has been losing money and the investors probably bought the hotel for next to nothing. They would ahve earned a huge windfall when they sold the hotel to NY investors along with a subsidized city loan and would have bought the city owned garage at a 90% discount.

I think that the McLatchy executives read these blogs and don’t know what to do with a worthless daily with worthless reporters. Given the recent firings 2 weeks ago of KAKE’s station manager and KWCH’s news director & assignment editor (ouch!) and last weeks resignation of KSN’s news director to make a lateral move back to Tulsa, I bet that there’s a lot of buzz in the industry about the Wichita news media betraying their profession. I’m glad I was video taped at the 12/2007 public forum at Rucky Eck chewing your butt out for the Eagle refusing to cover the human rights atrocites in the Wichtia juvenile courts. AS you recall less than 6 weeks later a 2 year girl died because fascist Judge Tony Powell did not have good information and had to make a life & death decision on bad information.

However I’m very surprised that Pam is risking her professional reputation by continuing the stonewalling. I spoke with Carrie yesterday and told her that I would e-mail her some scanned documents to pass up the chain of command. It’s never too late for the Eagle reporters & editors to make amends by doing their job. Who knows, you may even save some children’s lives (although I understand that that is not a goal of civic journalism).
