It has been a disasterous week for local news outlets in Kansas City. They're comming unraveled and undone by their own shoddy, corrupt, compromised coverage of local politicos.

We've spent the last week chronicling those in Kansas City who are supposed to be the officials in the game of campaigns and court rooms. But, like the NBA, our referees are compromised and corrupted by their own blind political leanings and irresponsible desire for ratings at all costs.

We were the only media outlet in print, TV, or radio to expose the embarrassing reporting by Fox 4's Linda Wagar and the deceptive media firm she featured. Our friends at Bottom Line Communications review the entire story. We're working to get our full audio coverage of this sham on our podcast page soon. Stay tuned.

We also found this unprecedented rebuke of a news outlet - in this case the Media Mafia - by a Jackson County judge who absolutely blisters them and bans them from his courtroom for good.

The final amazing piece of this sad puzzle comes from Derrek Donovan of the Falling Star. In the most honest writing by a member of that newspaper's staff, Donovan admits that the paper's leanings and incessant attacks on Johnson County DA Phil Kline and his supporters has grown to a level that is indisputable and egregious.
