Verrry interesting–Google has removed the other page from their index(”last evening’s post”).

Brendel? Are you trying to save what’s left of your reputation by asking Google to remove it from the index?

Kevin Brendel should not be allowed to be on any future commitees, commisions, city government and have absolutely no connection or contact with any children in this area or any part of the world. How Pathetic!

Anonymous,

I can appreciate your quest for accuracy, however, the Editors of the paper control what stories get pursued, and which ones get run. They are the “generals” so to speak, laying out the overall strategy. This means Alex and Susan. If Kipp comes to them and says “Hey, something bad is going on in Manassas Park” Alex and Susan are the ones who decide if the story gets developed, or not.

So, when someone came and said “Two cats were dumped at the shelter, and the owners changed their minds, but were too late…” It was the editors who decided “Stop the presses…we lead with the dead cat story”. or ‘Homelss Joe lost his dog”…they decided “Front page…above the fold.”

Make no mistake. The editors control the paper. In this case, the editors are running that paper into the ground.

Alex Granados is no longer reporting on Manassas and Manassas Park. I think he went to the editorial page or someting. Kipp Hanley is the new local reporter. And neither wrote the cat story - that was Keith Walker, if I remember correctly.

Sorry Bats, I read both this blog and that paper and I am detail oriented to the point of being anal retentive. I had to correct you.

A bigger question: Where the Hell has the MJM been? Or the WaPo? It’s not like there hasn’t been a lead or two to follow up. This is local Woodward and Bernstein stuff!

Maninstream Media scooped again by a couple of bloggers. Hear that Shavilik and Granados? I know you read this blog. While you are so busy writing about euthanized cats and lost dogs, not to mention bashing a citizen’s advocacy group, a story regarding REAL GOVERNEMENT CORRUPTION AND INTIMIDATION HAS BEEN HAPPENING! You’ve ignored it. You’ve failed. You are feckless…YOU STINK!

So this is what caused Jim Rich to dissolve the Mannassas Park Republican Committee! I heard it was something to do with child pornography, but who would have guessed it would tie right back into Rack & Roll. This is absolutely mind blowing. WHAT IN THE HELL IS THE COMMONWEALTHS ATTORNEY DOING ABOUT IT?

The FBI needs to take this over sine the locals seem to be abdicating their responsibility and the state is seemingly powerless. As I stated in the post below, it is time for an Independent Prosecutor at the State AG level to deal with these kinds of politically charged cases.

The FBI has done this in Loudoun County since the CA there turned a blind eye to all the corruption going on. You locals need to start feeding the feds info and demanding federal intervention since your local government has decided to do nothing.
