A worthwhile and sometimes intense discussion for our most news-addicted denizens is provided by this GOLD STANDARD OF THE KANSAS CITY DISCOURSE . . . Check the arguments as these locals attempt to replicate online discourse with more facts and insight . . . Check the description . . .
"Mike Shanin talks to KCMO 1st District At-Large Councilman-elect Kevin O'Neill. Laura Isabel Alvarez, Patrick Tuohey, Dave Trabert & Jon Stephens discuss the highs and lows of Sly James' tenure as mayor of Kansas City, the sale of the struggling T-Bones baseball franchise despite aid from the Unified Government of KCK & Wyandotte County & if Kris Kobach's senate run will entice Mike Pompeo to run."
Take a look:
You decide . . .
Almost completely wrong about the term of Sly James. KC's greatest friend to developers.
ReplyDeleteDon't understand interviewing O'Neill. He didn't have an opponent and doesn't represent a very active or involved area in KC politics. Really bad choice, he would like to be considered a Conservative and for KCMO he probably is but he is trying very hard to not come off light a lightweight and because of that he seems overeager, give him the benefit of the doubt but that council seat has always been very tenuous without a lot of influence.
DeleteTouey and Trabert are just paid shills by Super PACS paid to spout their vitriol.
ReplyDelete^^^^^Thanks for sharing, gopher. It's always a treat to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteLaura Alverez was a complete dud on this show. I hope to never see her again. Mary O'hollering is better but not by much.
ReplyDeleteWasn't impressed by "John-Stephens-Head-Of-PortKC" (wait, we don't have a 'Port", let's just give tax money to Developers without voter approval instead) either, but then he's not anyone's idea of an impressive sort of guy.
ReplyDeleteRUCKUS...THY NAME IS "HYPOCRISY"
ReplyDeletePanel Topic 1 -- Rating Mayor Sylvester
PLEASE note that panelist Jon Stephens is a POLITICAL APPOINTEE OF SYLVESTER JAMES leading the Port Authority of KC.
This was NOT disclosed on the program, and most viewers aren't aware of this fact.
Jon Stephens has been a cheerleading political hack and campaign contributor to Sylvester James.
Now knowing these facts, is it any wonder that Stephens gave the highest ranking among panelists?
Ruckus needs to implement a panelist disclosure policy ASAP.
(P.S. Congratulations to Ms. Alvarez, as women and especially the Latino community have been under-represented on programs like this.)
This show is still on the air. While Check Please couldn't find funding is odd. Very odd. Also..strange.
ReplyDelete^^^ At least you didn't use the W" word.
ReplyDelete@10:35, I'm not surprised at all, I actually watched an entire episode of "Check Please" once.
ReplyDeleteI'll never get those six weeks back!
(What do you mean an half-hour? No way!)
