Greenburg's AJ editorial on Vick 'Em shirts demonstrates just how out-of-touch he is

I can't believe Terry Greenburg's latest editorial Saturday on the Michael Vick t-shirt. In it he says "We may have gotten all worked up about red-light cameras months ago, but people in St. Cloud, Minn, could care less".

Mr. Greenburg doesn't care about red light cameras. In fact, he doesn't write about anything of true news interest, only lame topics and sports. Minnesota, like many other states, has it's own ongoing battle against red light cameras, but Mr. Greenburg is so out of touch he doesn't even realize it.

The AJ has summarily ignored the red light camera story and served as an advocate for the City's wrong position since the get go. The paper has done no research and ignores hundreds of stories of corruption and examples proving the cameras are all about money.

They have yet to run ONE story on the dozens of cities who have abandoned red light camera programs. They cite Garland as a shining example of how wonderful the cameras work, yet they refuse to run the story when corruption is discovered in the Garland red light system.

The AJ also completely ignored the "right turn" scam being perpetuated in Lubbock.

I am sad to see the AJ lose focus on actual news coverage, and repeatedly get beaten on all stories by radio and television sources. I doubt the paper will continue for many more years due to the lack of actual reporting. They seem to be trying to become a sports and "warm and fuzzy" paper rather than an actual newspaper. I guess that is why Mr. Greenburg can't be bothered with red light camera stories or other actual news in Lubbock as he writes about O.J. or his last family trip.

Sincerely,
David

Pratt Responds:

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled the use of the cameras as unconstitutional - a huge development and Greenburg is ignorant of this.
