WJZ's Dixon Report -- waste of time
I just tuned in to catch Eyewitness News' report on the latest charges against Sheila Dixon and . . . what a waste of time. They've got some boyish reporter in War Memorial Plaza waving the new indictment. He doesn't tell us what's in the indictment, what the charges are. But he tells us that Dixon, "through it all," has maintained a business-as-usual approach to running the city. Cut to a sound bite of the twice-indicted mayor in a bicycle helmet and it's the usual blah-blah-blah about how she's serving the citizens of Baltimore and the charges "just make me stronger." Cut back to the boyish reporter. Again, nothing about the charges. But this time, he quotes Dixon's attorney, Arnold Weiner, saying the new indictment is "just as flawed" as the first indictment. That's it. Maybe this is why Dixon gives "exclusive" interviews to WJZ. . . .

WJZ "news" has been a joke since the passing of Jerry Turner.

Mayor Dixon and Ms. Holton are the latest victim of a racist witch hunt. Leave it to a white Republican State's Attorney with a prolonged vendetta to try and destroy two pillars of the community. Anytime a black person in America gets a little too powerful, there's always a white person there to try to tear them down. We shall overcome!

Dixon and Holton get what they deserve. They may be black, but they are essentially puppets of the corrupt white power establishment and they have not served the interest of black people save lovers, family, and friends. Glad to see Paterakis indicted albeit minor. My only concern is that O'Malley's hands are not clean. How is it possible that Dixon, Holton, paterakis, and Lipscomb have unclean hands. But, the one that controlled the board of estimates is clean? Please.
