Our DMN delivery person must have read yesterday’s post and decided to fight back. The paper was very late this morning and, this time, lacked the NeighborsGo section. Meantime a whistleblowing FBvian chimes in on the subject, calling The News‘ classified section a “nightmare.” He once spotted a jewelry ad there placed by a “convicted felon” who had more than $1 million in ongoing civil lawsuits over alleged senior-citizen ripoffs, he recalls. When he notified the classified staff of this he says they literally yelled at him to get lost, because the jeweler was paying on time. Then he adds:
Well, a few years later [the jeweler] went to prison and for what? Conning old people out of their savings — selling diamonds and eventually investment jewelry. By the way — the Fort Worth Star-Telegram pulled his ad after one phone call.
