In Reply To: JoeViewer, you gotta get cable, fella. You're missing some of best investigative stuff... * Daron Caldwell investigation led to release of innocent man being framed for murder as the Hart Plaza fireworks shooter... * Detroit Schools investigation showed no school books for students 7 months into the year while officials redecorated their offices and teachers threw lavish sleepover parties at a suburban hotel with money earmarked for students * Eastern MI University investigation documented lavish spending on as new $6 million palace/home for the college president while school classrooms and dorms were falling apart I won't go on...you can still dislike my reporting style, fair enough, but let's not try to tell people "this guy did absultely nothing in Detroit" until recent stories focused on Kwame. As I say--get cable, Dude.
Message: Amy Lang broke the Eastern Michigan story MONTHS before you rehashed it, I could go on and on... Your stuff with Detroit Public Schools was good, I'll give you that, but the way you try to take credit for being the king" of investigations in detroit is laughable. I've never ONCE seen you compliment a single story from one of your own collegues or your competitors. Hate to tell you, but there are many, many in this market alone better than you, only they don't toot their own horn quite as much.
