St. Mary's Today Advertiser Boycott

[Midnightrider]

one last thing,
I know when i was in the paper, KR reported things about the other driver that the police did not report or act upon- numerous recent DWI's, and when i went to court for the accident the things he reported were accurate, and the judge took appropriate action.

"The primary cause of the accident was icy roads, authorities said. Speed or alcohol were not factors"

There is no conspiracy. Just a man who wrote an article with inaccurate facts and then an heir of arrogance so strong, that he refused retract one sentence. Thats all that was asked of him.

Now suppose he did have a contact that gave him that information. Maybe an officer, maybe the janitor, maybe batman, who knows. Until the department changes its report, I will not take the word of some two-bit hack just because he said so.

But does that mean he didn't call after that time when you were not there?


And maybe he does have the parties extension, i don't know

Anybody with more than 2 brain cells to rub together does the same thing, which is why nobody here supports your call to boycott the advertisers. People tend to "consider the source". Ya might wanna try it the next time you read something on the internet.

I'm not sure why you are so bent in defending him. But you have the right.

I ask you this question.

The police report is official right?

He only named one person (the accident reconstructionist), and it was proved that that person wasn't even on duty at the time.

What reason does anyone have to believe the St. Mary's Today given the circumstances???

A company should research where it advertises. You won't find a commercial for Childrens Tylenol on the spice channel.

I am very aware of the "source". What has me angry about it, is the victims friends and family from Minnesota who are stumbling across that particular website and thinking its real news. And believe me, many of them have read it.

BTW, give me a call please.

I worked 10 pm to 8 am. I can't say whether or not another station clerk fielded a call from Mr. Rossignol after my shift ended. Our Code of Ethics clearly states..."Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty." The media release on the accident clearly stated the facts of the accident. Vrai is correct in saying that Mr. Rossignol made his own interpretation of the media release.

Thank you Barbra, hearing from someone who knows the department protocol first hand makes me feel a lot better.
