Sioux Falls TV media’s silence over free bus rides for youth
l3wis Yes, the details still need to be ironed out until the ordinance becomes in effect on June 19, but doesn’t it seem odd that NO ONE from any of our TV stations has said a word about it? Just this morning KSFY and KDLT did identical stories about a rib booth at Ribfest, in fact the vendor used the exact same script for both interviews. It should not come as any surprise, the media has done zero coverage of things like the Tuthill ghost (SFPD refuses to give the public clues like the audio of the officer) so this case will probably go unsolved. Or how for over eight months there has been NO update on whether the Event Center siding will be fixed, which could end up costing taxpayers millions or left with a crap siding job.
Someone said to me that maybe there isn’t enough interest in the story. Are you kidding? Every parent I have told this to of young children is excited about it, they like the idea of the buses having bike racks and that ALL kids can ride regardless of the economic stature.
So while they are copying each others stories about a dry rub from Minnesota, maybe they can do a real story about what is going on in our community. But that would require them to actually call councilors and do interviews.
