5 things I think about today’s St. Petersburg Times (6/28)

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

I’m not the only blog-reporter upset with the St. Petersburg Times and the way it interacts with the online community.  Last week, I shared a drink at St. Pete Brasserie with Elizabeth Dougherty of Eat St. Pete and Brian Bailey of I Love the ‘burg.  Both talked about something I have complained about for over a year: The Times‘ blatant thievery of scoops and stories that begin in the blogosphere. Dougherty specifically mentioned how the Times’ food writers made no…

in Statewide by

John Frank reports of a new robocall from the Bill McCollum campaign: “Meet Mr. Slick – Rick Scott. “He’s been busted twice this week by Florida newspapers for telling whoppers about Bill McCollum. According to the experts, Mr. Slick – Rick Scott, and his campaign have been lying about Bill McCollum’s position on the issues of abortion and immigration. “Between Obama and Crist Floridians are tired of typical politicians – willing to say anything to be elected.

in Statewide by

Alright, before I get into this, let me just say that I recognize Mac Stipanovich is way, way more powerful than me.  He’s even been portrayed by an actual Hollywood actor in a made-for-HBO movie. So I really shouldn’t be calling him out, but then I read what Adam Smith tweeted over the weekend: @adamsmithtimes: Mac Stipanovich on Rick Scott vs Bill McCollum: “Skeletor vs. Jimmy Neutron.” Dude, there is no way Mac the Knife is down with Skeletor.  Stipanovich…

5 things I think about today’s St. Petersburg Times

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

But it’s almost as if Greene is getting, if not a pass, a chance to truly compete against Kendrick Meek.…
