Our friend Al Crespo gives us a shout out and we have to ask, why isn't anyone in the mainstream media covering the Airways Auto Tag scandal?


Our friend and collegue Al Crespo of the Crespo-Gram report gave us a shout out last week regarding our coverage of the Airways Auto Tag story.  You can read his article here.  Al brings up a great question regarding the story in his article...

In years past, this is a story that the Herald would have featured above the fold on it’s front page, because by any criteria, this is a major story about how 3 women were falsely setup, and how a Miami-Dade police detective and a Miami-Dade Assistant State’s Attorney should be considered co-conspirators in this scheme.
But, because a “blogger” is the one that uncovered it, chances are you’ll never see a mention of it on the Herald’s pages, because not only has the Miami Herald squandered it’s journalistic integrity when it comes to acting like a big city newspaper, but, when it comes to “bloggers,” they might cite us once in a while in passing, but what they won’t do is build off of the work and efforts of someone like Mike, and let the whole community know about this nasty deal.

So where is the Herald?  How about any of the local news stations? Is the story of three hardworking innocent women who were wrongly arrested by an incompetent cop not worth covering?  Perhaps the people watching what they try to pawn off as local news are more interested in hearing about Whitney Houston dying again and again rather than hearing a story about one of their own?  Where are all the investigative reporters?  Jim DeFede?  Hank Tester?  Jeff Weinsier?  Anyone?  I guess they're too busy working on breaking news...
