It was on all the Monday morning newscasts- and fairly significant news it was:
A fire burned around a quarter-million dollars worth of vehicles at the beleagered Jeremy Franklin's "Legends" car dealership in KC-KS..
Mr. Franklin's dealerships it seems- has been screwing their customers with vaguely-worded promotions and such and has been sued by the attorneys general of both Kansas and Missouri.
Every Monday morning TV "newscast" covered the arson fire and tied in the Franklin lawsuits in a tongue-clucking manner..
The KANSAS CITY STAR would have to wait until this morning (Tuesday) to report the highly-suspicious fire.
After a scan of the Tuesday paper front to back- guess what?
The Jeremy Franklin car dealership fire was apparently not news- as it wasn't anywhere where the news is supposed to be.
Either editors at The STAR now pick and choose stories to publish or it's their judgement on what exactly constitutes news.
The STAR DID cover themselves Tuesday morning.
The STAR's new publisher- the Mc Clatchy Company of Sacremento-CA- is further Mc Downsizing the newspaper's staff- weeks after one drastic cut.
Hopefully- Mc Clatchy will spare one reporter and assign them to watch TV newscasts.
