Here is why we need local media in Columbus (and wherever you might live) to hold power accountable for their misdirection and lies.
Yesterday, after State Rep. Dontavius Jarrells grossly mischaracterized honest political debate about the insider endorsement of Tiara Ross, he pot-shotted my honkey ass by telling me to "write about the Randolph Freedpeople."
Well, alright, then.

Media shouldn’t let MLB’s capitulation on the All-Star Game go unnoticed
Coverage of the All-Star Game’s return to Atlanta fails to mention a voter suppression law that prompted the game’s leaving in 2021.
