AWESOME! You rock Tom. I would not want to be featured on that segment.

Enjoy and have fun at it

Honestly, Tom, the stuff you do is so light weight, I could care less about it

For example - the guy whom you interviewed, who tried to crawl under his car to get away from you while you shouted questions at him. I forget what he did, because it really didn't matter, but that's typical of your reporting. It's easy, it's flash, and it's out of my head by the next commercial.

When I worked at WDBO ten years ago, we broke a story about the contracts awarded to build the Orlando Court House - the city was required to farm out a certain percentage to minority-owned businesses. Those contracts were so over-bid that the minority business owners resold them at a profit to white-owned companies and all retired. That story took a lot of hard work on the part of one reporter (he had to research contracts, hunt down employees, trace out bids and, of course, chase the money), and when he broke it, he changed things about how those contracts are bid and handled.

Not only does your work not show that kind of effort, I think you'd bury a story like that because you wouldn't want to disparage the program. You claim not to see yourself as a partisan but I don't see too much disagreement between you and the political Left, and your reporting sure points in one direction.

You want to give rawhide bones to a series of 'dirty dogs,' whom you feel victimized other people? Enjoy yourself. I give it two months before it degenerates into 'he said/ she said,' and we'll never see a story about someone selling fake carbon credits unless it's a white guy ripping of minorities.

Darned! I missed it. I have to quit working so late, I keep missing all of the fun.

Wizard:
You have no idea what you're talking about, as usual.
I have busted "major" stories, "major" political races and "major" GM/UAW strikes. Even covered one of the plane crashes in 9-11.
But nothing has gotten more attention than putting losers into the Doghouse.
You just don't get it, sir.
Most of the time, the Doghouse is the only justice these people will ever see.
This is not 60 Minutes, it's local TV. It's got to be both informative and entertaining.
And, my friend, there's nothing entertaining about you. Everything that comes out of your mouth is negative and condesending. You are a downer. Oh, and that guy I caught hiding under his car? He, owes several people tens of thousands of dollars from home foreclosure sales! I don't get you. Obviously, you dislike both me and my work, yet you're addicted to my blog. Very odd.

Sageman: You get it! Most of you get it! And, trust me, I ain't that liberal. I'm in the middle. But that's another blog, Sage.

I agree with what sageman said a crook is a crook ...
