Imagine the video tape that would accompany
Ms. Garate's report on her investigation of sagging,
and other prohibited behavior, that is being permitted,
by Albuquerque Public Schools administrators and
school board members.
90,000 kids in open defiance of the rules,
the authority of the school board,
and the authority of their teachers.
It's no wonder, that so little education is taking place.
It is a broadcast journalist's dream come true.
But Michelle Donaldson, the News Director at KRQE,
won't allow it.
Neither will KOAT's Sue Stephens, or KOB's Thomas Pearl.
I think it has to do with Paula Maes,
APS School Board President.
She has a lot to loose if the story gets covered.
And she also happens to be the
President/CEO of the New Mexico Broadcasters Association.
Are Donaldson, Stephens, and Pearl being coerced?
Are they currying favor with a powerful politica?
Is this the privileged class covering their ass?
Are they just helping out an old friend?
What difference does it make?

Jessica Garate Would Be All Over It

Perhaps the Privileged think thus:
I cover my ass really damn well, to exclusion of accountability for public Power and Property (see I have been learning from ya, D6)
Therefore, Let it be Written let it be Done (Sounding like Yul Brenner before the Plauges), it balances out all the kids asses that are not being covered.
Double Standards, nudges and winks, and no enforcement of rules has caused us a generation of Albuquerqueans who think it is acceptable to break rules as long as you don't get caught, or have powerful allies who will haul you out of trouble.

Well said, and oh so true. Just think of Cordova and son!
Jessica kicked major ass, if not on my behalf, then to my major benefit. She tore Danny a new hole, plus whacked Gil with a Jounalistic Shaleighli.
She did good.
