TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! FORMER STAR NEWSIE DEANN SMITH STILL PONDERS THE FATE OF CO-MAYOR GLORIA SQUITIRO AND THE QUALITY OF KANSAS CITY REPORTING!!!



DeAnn Smith is a world-class reporter and a tight little package with a sweet Southern accent . . . And because she has all that going for her, I'm not gonna feel guilty about taking her insightful Gloria Squitiro tweets and calling them a TKC EXCLUSIVE given that only 12 other people might have seen them.

Now . . . On with the story . . .

DEANN SMITH RAISES SOME PRETTY INTERESTING QUESTIONS ABOUT GLORIA SQUITIRO'S UPCOMING RETURN TO CITY HALL WITH A SERIES OF TWEETS CRITIQUING A WEEKEND STAR FRONT PAGE STORY!!!








Squitiro needs training . . . Good stuff. I hope that it starts with lessons in appropriate footwear.



"Large personna" Ouch!!!



I have no doubt that Smith is raising some valid questions . . . My only concern is Galen, a guy who pretty much ignores everyone who isn't capable of firing him and seems to be making up the City Charter as he goes along.

More importantly . . . Other than the fact that reporters can't resist critiquing the work of their peers and it drives them crazy that TKC ignores all criticism on GP . . . I also noticed that the fall from The Star is pretty steep . . . Smith once moved the entire metro with her stories and now she's chatting with a crowd of a dozen and me on Twitter . . . Sign up for her feed . . . Because even if she's not working at The so-called "paper of record" she still has more insight into this town than just about anybody at the last remaining dead tree media institutions.

    That razorback bitch is on Mike Sanders's payroll and so she writes what she is told to write by Queer Calvin.

    Sanders knows that he has to destroy Mark so that no one looks into the corruption at the county.

  2. Deeann is a loser It is her girdle that makes her a tight little package.
    Rat Poison also comes in tight little packages.

  3. wow, real cute "lol @ 10:43" ((It kind of puts a spin on the plain "lol"-- which pretty much means, "I have nothing better to say)

    Not in my case, I have a lot to say, unlike the coward no names--

    DeAnn is a great co worker and friend-- Apparently, you all have some issues you can't confront on your own.

    Let me help... "when a person talks badly about you... they're jealous, insecure and wishes to be popular" A lesson many parents teach their children... and from the looks of it, the saying falls true for grown ups as well...

    If you only have insulting words to bring to the table-- don't show up... You all sound childish and extremely jealous, considering DeAnn has more contacts, guts and respectful reputation than any of you!


    Have a good one!
