St. Augustine WRecKord Is So PR Driven It Fell for Ringo Starr Hoax -- Twice -- In 2004


The real Ringo Starr

The real Ringo Starr is coming to the St. Augustine Ampitheater on July 17.

Six years ago, the St. Augustine WRecKord twice fell for a hoax that RIngo Starr was in town and staying at the Casa Monica Hotel. It was front page news.

When it comes to shallowness and superficial reporting, the WRecKord can't be beaten.

The WRecKord's editor sent me nasty E-mails insisting that it was not "important" that two cities' Commissioners voted to oppose offshore oil drilling (while he printed front page articles when one of them at first voted against it).

It's time fot the St. Augustine WRecKord to be freed from the fetters of Republican dirty tricksters with the MORRIS family -- it's time for journalism, instead of political hackery (and quackery).

What do you reckon?
