KANSAS CITY ACTIVIST ALONZO WASHINGTON CALLS OUT JOHN PEPITONE FOR POACHING PRICE GOUGING STORY!!!



The connections betwixt activists and journalists can often prove contentious but a recent report stands out.

First story story that's documented and offers a glimpse at life under the lockdown . . .

Urban Core Kansas Citians complain of price gouging after 30 eggs priced at $10

Thing of it is . . . Kansas City Crime Fighter Alonzo Washington informed his community of TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERS about this unacceptable situation DAYS AGO.

Here's the situation according to Mr. Washington who is, understandably, frustrated with MSM using him as a resource without credit:

"This MFer basically plagiarized all my tweets and Facebook post about Wild Woody's. My social media is a template for lazy-ass b*tch ass reporters to copy what I post. F-u John Pepitone . . .

"The KC press began to get upset when I would solve crimes & not want to give me credit for tips that my social media & advocacy helped solve. I solved the Precious Doe case & they leave me out of the story now. Lying b*tches!!!

"I actually started talking about it a week ago but over the weekend I decided to ask the community to report it to the AG."

Before commenters express skepticism . . . DOZENS of MR. Washington's followers are backing him up on his assertion.

Of course this blog is built on the axiom that "information wants to be free" and in this instance it's clear the Mr. Washington exposed the social media "research" that supports the local corporate news structure.

  1. Fox4 is notorious for this. Pitch used to do it as well back when they published more content.

    Nowadays most of the news is just gleaned from social media.

    When it's a white woman that reporters feel comfortable talking with, they'll cite the source. If not, they just steal.

    1. Are those eggs free range?

      I'm encouraged that all of the horders don't shop organic.

      Thank God for small favors.

    2. Pepitone does this from time to time but his repackaging is always very comprehensive. Should he give credit? OF COURSE. But I guess it's probably a directive from his bosses.

  2. Oh please that lying sack of shit. People everywhere have been bitching about the cost of eggs from one side of the metro to the other. Blozo didn't have a fucking scoop on anything.

  3. In fact wasn't Alonzo's discovering anyway as he was paoting and telling on his nlog what others were feeding him. How does this POS not know for fact those telling him were not also telling Pepitone as well?

    Alonzo is a whinnying pussy

  4. Ummmm sorry Alonzo but at least two weeks ago on a live Facebook event Tony's own Super Dave was pointing out how some Price Choppers were price gouging on eggs. Any fool who has been to the store has seen egg prices so it wasn't a deep dark secret and wasn't just one store nor was it exposed by any secret covert investigative reporting by Alonzo.

    So I'd say Alonzo is pulling another one of his see me stunts.

  6. Health Report: Two faced bitches still only need one mask. So slap one on Alonzo so we can't see or hear you ranting.

  7. Washington has a FB page full of what people tell him but if someone else finds out he gets all butthurt like he has a copyright or exclusive rights on anything in the news or events taking place. Look at all Alonzo has taken from other people and made claim to it. He calls them tipsters but never say who those people are. See that's how Alonz gets away with stuff or making false claims as he can always say, "Hey MFer some tipster told me this shit."
    Looks so me the biggest blog scam artist in The area got a does of his own medicine back.

    Dear Alonzo,
    You must really think you're a syndicated sophisticated news source in this town? Sorry to burst your bubble as you're neither of those things. You language is atrocious and you have been kicked off Facebook how many times and created how many Facebook pages trying to deal with your lack of journalistic style? Look it's like this, very few care for you and many thousands more despise you as nobody digs your ghetto style of hate but yourself. You're irrelevant and made yourself that way with hate and racist comments. You could have been something once upon a time but you let your ego overwhelm you and turn you into the nasty hateful hate whitey person you are.

    Respectfully Submitted,

    Not A Fan At All

  10. Neither Alonzo, Pepitone nor anyone else can tell whether the cost of an item is "price gouging" without knowing how much the retail outlet had to pay the middleman for that item. If there was a 20% markup several months ago, and there is about the same level markup now, that's not price gouging.

  11. ^^^^^Oh please spare us that sort of jabbering. Wholesale cost of eggs has not gone up like that.

  12. Bought 5 dozen Jumbo eggs at Walmart on Barry Rd. for 88 cent a dozen.
    Whats the fuss

  13. Eggs come out of a chicken’s butthole. Who the fuck wants to eat something that came out of a chicken’s butthole anyway? At any price.

  16. Hey. The good news is Pepitone is really making progress on putting the pep in his tone. It was kind of sad when he first tried to not sound like John monotone the forced up and down metering of his voice was in all the wrong places. But he sounding a little more natural these days.

  17. I don't recall seeing the infamous crimedrone flying above wild woodys. Alonzo was just begging his FB friends to send pictures to him. That lazy MF'r was hiding in his basement.
    Maybe if he would act more civilized and worked with people and the media he would get some credit but he continues the spread his white hate and his uneducated vocabulary. His audience is his neighbors and other hood leeches that are no more educated than him.
    BTW..i'm going to put on my white jeans today and take pics..What do you lovely people think of me? hahahaha!

  18. Maybe we if one wants to be a news outlet they should get a degree in broadcasting. All the Yahoo's who think a Facebook page makes them someone. He everyone did you know there is a thing called covid 19, you heard it here first.

  19. Calling Alanzo a "crime fighter is like calling John Bolton a "peace maker."

  20. The Govt placing arbitrary price controls over any item is folly. And it only serves to lessen supply. Grocery stores can't afford to sell products for less than they cost them for long. So what happens next? Overall prices for other items will be increased and the availability of the price control item will decrease. Happens every time regardless of what Marxist think.
