Flint water crisis on 60 Minutes

A great update on tonight’s 60 Minutes on the Flint water crisis’ ongoing impacts on children in the city.

Why is it that national networks are doing this type of journalism, while our local stations are no longer pushing for answers from our elected officials? Why hasn’t former guv Snyder and his whole team been charged/recharged for their roles in the crisis? Why hasn’t new Governor Whitmer and new Mayor Neeley lived up to their campaign promises?

When this all started, the market had 3 veteran news directors... who since were either pushed out or left... only to be replaced by newbies who either don’t know/understand the market or are too in over their heads to know the difference. 5, 12, and 25-66 have done specials, town halls, investigative reports... but virtually nothing in the past year.

It’s embarrassing that we’re getting beat by out of market competitors...

Brandon, ask your buddy Bill why he didn’t break one story related to the Flint water crisis, despite being a self-proclaimed “Dean of Mid-Michigan News Anchors.”

Heck, he hasn’t broken any story. Ever. Terry Camp breaks more stories on his day off than Bill has in five decades.

You’re friends with Terry, why don’t you ask him yourself?

Check you logic, Brandon.

Ask Terry why Bill never broke any stories in his 50 year career because I’m friends with Terry?

Wow, and people like you vote.

Instead of doing local stories, I guess we’re now getting local reaction to Kanye West’s “announcement” that he’s running for President. He’s not even on a single ballot and we’re wasting time with this? Why?

Because you chose (there’s that word again) a horrible place to work, voluntarily (there’s that word again) signed a horrible contract, and choose to complain about it here.

Everything you have done was your own doing. You could have chosen differently, heck, you can change it today, but you’ll decide to further complain, gripe, whine, and moan your own ignorance.

I absolutely agree.

I don't see this Flint water issue ever go away. The citizens of Flint want to play victim for as long as they can. They will never accept any level of quality of water, even if it far surpasses the EPA standards. They are looking to place blame on someone (or organization) so the Taxpayers of Michigan will pickup the tab of the upgrade. Also, placing blame opens the door for endless lawsuits. The media will keep this alive for ratings and Ad revenues. Sadly, this whole situation will never move on. They won't let it.

Slavery ended 155 years ago and they want to still play the victim, get reparations, and point to it whenever they want you to do something for them.
