What Other “Reporting” Was “Bought Off” @ Detroit Newsistan?
Toward the end of last week, The Detroit Newsistan’s auto critic, Scott Burgess, resigned after his critical review of the Chrysler 200 was “revised” to a more favorable review after a local Chrysler car dealer–a major advertiser in the Newsistan–complained and demanded the changes. The story was broken by my friend, Ray Wert’s site, Jalopnik.com. Since then, the Detroit Newsistan’s far-left, pan-Muslim Editor in Chief and Publisher Jonathan Wolman has been falling all over himself and his pen writing BS “apologies” to readers claiming the “revisions” to the 200 review had nothing to do with compromising reviews for advertisers. Really? Like eating dinner has nothing to do with eating dinner? But the whole incident–not the first such one at the Newsistan–begs the question: who else is the Detroit Newsistan changing stories and news coverage for . . . and how many are named Mohammed?



Auto Critic Scott Burgess Sold Out By Detroit Newsistan for Advertising $s; What About the Paper’s Islamo-Pandering?
I didn’t just throw in the Muslim jab, as, a few years ago, I exposed the Detroit News in another sellout ( and lie), which it published at the request of attorneys for the Al-Qaeda terrorists from the Detroit Terror Cell. David Shepardson, then the paper’s beat reporter for the federal courts and homeland security/terrorism issues, published a phony story that an Islamic terrorist (who targeted American and Israeli planes at a Turkish air base) in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was badly beaten by prison guards, sustained specific injuries such as lost teeth, and had already been deported from the U.S. But documents I obtained from the prison where he was being held proved that not a single detail of the story was true, that the terrorist was still here, and that he did not sustain any one of the injuries claimed. Did Shepardson accept payoffs from the terrorists’ lawyers? If not, why would he go to such great lengths to “report” a fraudulent story that could easily be proven as fabricated and risk his career for some lawyers and Islamic terrorists?
