Xray Cincinnati's Media Guide
I can't help but find this guide a little bit light. There seem to be a few things missing from it: Cincinnati Blog, PulpStalag, Queen City Soapbox, SpicedSass, Political Junkie, RobBernard, IntheGray, and Land of the Lost. Blogs are a growing part of the Cincinnati media landscape. We may be small, amateur, but have as much to say as any of this or this. It also might help if GoXray.com fixes their links.
The WhistleBlower Wants to Spam You!
It appears Mr. Whistleblower either wants some mula, some idea of who reads his site, or he just wants to see how many suckers will give him their email address. I wonder if he has the penis enlarger Spam ready to go, or if he still needs to revise the sales pitch and self-made testimonial photograph.

Devolution of a Racist
Nate Livingston continues his downward spiral into oblivion, not that he wasn’t already living in obscurity. In yet another email, Nate is doing his utmost to get the only non-black talk show host off the airwaves of 1230 the Buzz. I am fairly confident the management at the Buzz will not be swayed by Nate's disingenuous comments. Nate is trumping up a charge against John Schlagetter, trying to gin up anti-white feelings amongst listeners of the Buzz. Nate's motives are to try and control or at least influence the Buzz, which he calls a "black radio station," to keep open an outlet for the racist and bigoted ideas he and his cohorts wish to communicate to the black community. Nate does this kind of thing often. He sent copies of a bigoted radio ads for Ken Blackwell to WLW to try and put a wedge between Republicans and Ken Blackwell. To a degree it succeeded thanks to Mike McConnell's attention to the issue.
Here Nate is trying to create PR. He wants a response from the Buzz and knowing how they kowtow to many of the local black separatists/racist groups, he might get a little attention out of them. He might even build an on air feud. He might be fishing for way to file another lawsuit against the Buzz. He had little luck the last time, but I guess he has nothing better to do in his spare time.
Here is the email John sent back along with Nate's email. It is like watching a train derail, a slow motion devolution into a lower form of life:

You bore me. As Sprocket's Dieter might say, "You're gangly adolescent attempts to intimidate me have grown tiresome."
Get a job.

Subject: RE: MLK III smear campaign
Rick Porter:
You are well aware of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) requirement that you maintain a public file. Included with this email are copies of emails from John Schlagetter, an on-air employee of WDBZ, and my responses. I want these emails included in your public file. I will also forward to you in the next few minutes copies of letters from Doreen Cudnik, Joy Rolland, and Michael Watson concerning Mr. Schlagetter and his participation in an insidious smear campaign against Martin Luther King III. Those letters should also be incorporated into your public files.
In addition, as promised yesterday, I have begun contacting your advertisers to inform them of Mr. Schlagetter's comments, and his hostile, childish, inflammatory, and totally inappropriate reaction to a request that he apologize for making false and malicious statements about the eldest son of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This issue could have been, and should have been, resolved days ago. Unfortunately, Mr. Schlagetter has chosen not to make a thorough, on-air apology for his on-air statements which were made on Friday and repeated on Sunday. Mr. Schlagetter apparently feels
comfortable allowing such disinformation to remain in the public arena until he chooses to correct it. That, of course, is not an appropriate way to handle the placement of disinformation in the public arena. If Mr. Schlagetter made a mistake, which I do not believe to be the case, he should have moved to quickly correct that mistake. Instead, Mr. Schlagetter said untrue things about Martin Luther King III, he repeated those statements, he was advised that the statements were untrue and hurtful, and he has, to this date, refused to publicly apologize.
For some reason, WDBZ management hasn't seen the need to intervene and either force Mr. Schlagetter to do the right thing and apologize, or issue the apology on his behalf and on behalf of the radio station.
White talk show host cannot be allowed to go on the airwaves at Black radio stations and trash the names of Black leaders.
I look forward to a speedy reply.
Nathaniel Livingston, Jr.

Bank Robberies Down in 2002
The Murder rate is up, but bank robberies are down. I am sure many could see a bigoted angle to that trend. One could claim that murder is up because police are busy investigating bank robberies. That is a preposterous claim. You might be able to say that any unsolved murder cases might be due to an emphasis on bank robberies, but the bank robbery trend needed attention. I am sure that cries of racism or of special protection of corporate interest could be made, and might be true, but bank robberies are a serious crime that is important to the security of the local economy.

New Monitor Says City Can Be Model
Can be is the problem. Can is something we in Cincinnati sit on, not something we live up to.

Chris Anderson comments on Nate Livingston's continued emails to John Schlagetter and on Nate's mass labeling of us as racists, a notion I find sad. I have to agree with Chris on everything in this post, especially on the points over both boycotts. I especially agree with Chris that the Article XII should be repealed and I am not supportive of the boycott called trying to force that repeal.
Man accused of improperly trying to bring 25 Yemenis into country
This is disturbing, but I would assume that since this story is not getting much national attention, I assume this is your run of the mill criminal ring, not a terrorist cell.
