Unbiased reportage?

No doubt, this Friday you will see the T&G's piece that results from the St. Marys EarthKeepers' press release of Monday (posted on this blog) apropos the proposed Billyville Rd. airport site. As you read it and, for that matter, any subsequent coverage of St. Marys Earthkeepers activities and the remainder of the six free PSAs the Trib is running for the Citizens Advisory Board ( the political arm of the EarthKeepers), there is something you should bear in mind.
In the top exhibit above, you will see that in the Earthkeepers membership list, the Tribune & Georgian is listed (with a banner, no less) as not only a member, but a "Lifetime Environmetal Steward."
Now, drop down to the bottom right hand corner of the bottom exhibit to see what the T&G got for their $5,000.00.
You can bet that the EarthKeepers own a copy of Jesse Jackson's "Corporate Shakedowns for Dummies." However, my guess is that the T&G folks were willing and enthusiastic supporters.
What was the T&G thinking?
Thanks to the sharp-eyed reader who brought this to my attention. Glad to know some of you are starting to get it.
