Back in the 1960's- Walt Bodine told this young would-be reporter not to get too close to those you report on.
If that's the case- the local news media must be shacking-up with the owners of the Kansas City Royals.
Now that the baseball season is well underway- maybe these so-called "news reports" from Kauffman Stadium will focus more on game news than all the new fancies at the ballpark.
The local news media made a HUGE deal about all the new food selections but- as usual- reported only part of that story.
What the news media DIDN'T report is the outlandish prices for these new food selections.
More than $7 for a beer. More than $4 for a hot dog. Parking fees that exceed downtown's prices even.
ALL of the local news media outlets touted how NICE the quarter-of-a-billion-dollar taxpayer-financed improvements to Truman Sports Complex's baseball stadium were.
The local media failed to mention how much all these nice new things would additionally burden taxpayers who've already paid dearly once.
Maybe us heavily-taxed-for-everything taxpayers need to start sending press releases to news media outlets to cover OUR story....
