New Reporter’s Father Bankrolled Anti-Dem Sites

|

Uncle Barky’s reporting that Highland Park High School grad Calvert Collins is headed back to Dallas from Las Vegas to be a night-side reporter at Fox4, starting June 18. Barky also mentions how Collins once got into hot water with journalism-ethics cops, after her father made some political contributions in her name.

What Bark doesn’t mention is that Calvert’s pa is the very wealthy GOP donor Richard H. Collins, as in the Collins family (Ruth Collins Sharp Altshuler, et al), whose name is on buildings all over SMU. In 2008, Richard spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on an anti-Hillary website called Stop Her Now. After that he turned his attention to the “radical leftist agenda” of Barack Obama.
