There should be no communit...Anonymous - RIGHT ON!!<br />There should be no community discussion as to whether or not the community should give hundreds of millions of dollars to MLB/Tampa Bay Rays.

We saw this collusion at the national level in the embarrassing coverage of the various NFL scandals this year (most notably, Peter King). If you rock the boat, you lose that precious access, which is what allows you to be first, which is what earns you page-views and ad money. The easily corruptible and the economically desperate become mouthpieces for the industry. Unfortunately, there aren't as many alternative news sources at the local level as there are nationally.
