the headlines of the day there will be a GIANT-sized header about a story that NOBODY cares about, White collar crime. That is right, the Star is taking a break from attacking law enforcement, skipping soaring violent crime in the metro, and taking on a bunch of embezzlers. Amazing right? Such bravery!
Is the Star afraid to take on violent crime in KC? yes. They have been afraid to go after the "root causes" of crime in the city ever since this blog started over 10 years ago. The real question here is why? Either the Star (which has admitted to being racist) doesn't care about black folks killing other black folks or they are the subject matter would force them to admit that their political leanings and beliefs have helped turned Kansas City into one of the most violent places in America.
So just how complicit is The Star for the dead bodies piling up in the metro at record rates, year after year? Very.
They have spent decades pushing false narratives, supporting crooked civic leaders, attacking law enforcement, and ignoring zip codes that they never visit. When will we see any of the below stories covered?
- The effects of discredited schools have on the future of children attending these schools? We always hear about the teachers but never the kids they fucked up
- Gangs, yes, there have been gangs in KC since the late 80s, even though the media continuously ignores this.
- KC as a narcotics hub for America
- Lack of fathers at home
- Religious leaders exploiting tragedies for $$$$ and power
- How Democrats have failed the city for decades through inaction, symbolism over substance, and corruption.
- City Hall's failure to clean up blighted neighborhoods and dump sites.
- How candlelight and prayer vigils do NOTHING to lower crime or bring back the dead.
- The effect media coverage has on Law Enforcement's ability to both do their job and to be trusted in high murder zipcodes.
- Each time a firearm is used in a crime, how about we are informed if the weapon was legally or illegally purchased. I guess that would go against the narrative of needing more laws against firearms.
