In Reply To: You're doing a great job for viewers. They like you -- in the city and the burbs. Unlike competative and in some cases jealous reporters and managers from other stations, the viewers see a man who asks tough questions and won't take a brush off or kick or punch for an answer. You just keep going after the creeps who think nothing of ripping off voters, taxpayers, consumers -- until they get caught -- by you. Coleman Young was lucky you weren't around to grill him during his kingship. Imagine what the other stations would be doing right now if it weren't for you. Do you think they'd be half as agressive as they've suddenly become now? The answer? No. We can only hope they'll treat shady advertisers with the same investigative zeal they now reserve for government entities. "No favor, no fear." It should be the Detroit tv media's mantra.
Message: This guy did absolutely NOTHING in Detroit until he got shoved by Kwami's bodyguards (and in true SW fashion, made a spectacle of himself, not the story.) He does "investigative" stories on mercury in immunizations and asbestos in insulation (two dinosaur stories.) As far as Coleman Young is concerned, Wilson couldn't hold a candle to Bonds, not to mention Lewis, Wolchek, Birmingham, Drew, Sayah or Dietz!) Whoever said he was a joke is right on!
