geez how'd I miss this one: SCOTT STEEPLETON FIRED from News-Press according to the Independent, he was fired in May 2019
I hadn't heard from Scott lately or seen any of his writings in the News-Press, so I did a search and yep, he gone!
this guy was the biggest suckup to Wendy and Nipper...just crawling up their ass to make them happy and this is the thanks he gets..YOU'RE FIRED!!
I guess that means his wife got the axe too..no more folksy stories in the Home section
now I have a litany of bad journalism examples from Scott over the years, the Peter Lance fiasco where Scott tried to discredit the SB Police Dept
the killing of Nicholas Markowitz over his brother's drug debt and Scott's story praising one of the killers: so Pressley's write-up was done by Scott Steepleton who seems to like the "twinkle in Pressley's eyes and his disarming smile"
and yet Wendy kept him on as City Editor until May, then the new guy was hired and that was the end of Scott
but I wonder what happened... his pal DUI lawyer Darryl Genis who was part of the Peter Lance team sits in jail for tax evasion and now Wendy has turned against Scott
does this mean the News-Press will make an attempt at honest journalism and stop the tabloid/yellow journalism that Trump likes..the National Enquirer and Rupert Murdoch's trash?
probably not
