Star Tribune Conflict of Interest in Vikings Stadium Debate

I am a little dissapointed in the people of Minnesota when it comes to the Vikings Stadium debate. This is not because they are not on the same side of the issue as I am, because this issue crosses party lines and there are numerous reasons that can affect someones viewpoint regardless of affilliation. It is however because of how easily they are manipulated by local media and allow it to affect their decision making even if proven to be false.

People are repeatedly being brain washed by the Star Tribune and their bully pulpit and told how they should feel about this and any issue for that matter. The Star Tribune will continue these tactics, including blatantly lying, until they get what they want. For you die hard anti stadium people you should know their goal is not to defeat any stadium legislation. It is to defeat any legislation that would affect them or where they do not profit from the deal.

In other words, right now the bill currently awaiting a special session is for a new stadium to be built on the former site of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in Arden Hills. The Star Tribune is solely opposed to the location of the stadium, they are upset and are demanding it be built on the site of the Metrodome or that the #biginflatabletoilet is renovated inside and out. Why? Well...because they own all the land around the Metrodome and stand to make a tidy profit. Much like they have with all the price gouging parking lots they have owned since 1982. That is the same reason they last used their bully pulpit to get the ill conceived cesspool built in the first place.

The Star Tribune has no intention of telling the public the truth and will lie until the tide turns and the stadium is projected to be built in Minneapolis. At which time they will profess to have been long time stadium backers just waiting for a deal that makes sense and they will convince you at that time it does. Then like the trained monkeys you are....you will follow. The problem is why not make this location work now and save a lot of money and do what is best for Minny? Think about it, whenever it is profitable you can not go without seeing their name scattered everywhere in support...if it is good for others or the state as a whole but not them, well then....the last propaganda machine this effective ended badly for all.

While I fully support freedom of the press it is with the condition that it is ethical journalism. We already have one National Enquirer we don't need a local rag version. I call on the Star Tribune to fully disclose their sources and facts from hereon in regarding the stadium issue. In addition I call on them to fully disclose with each article they "write", all of their financial gains since and as a result of the inception of the Metrodome with projected financial windfalls from any proposed new Vikings Stadium in Minneapolis or renovated Metrodome.

This would show they have SOME integrity and that their ultimate goal is what is best for the people of Minnesota. As it appears right now they are not interested in accurate reporting or ethical journalism or what is in the best interest of the people. They are solely interested in biased self indulgent reporting. They should be worried about avoiding a 2nd Bankruptcy filing or total cessation of operations due to piss poor management.

I call on the people of Minnesota to boycott the Star Tribune and their interests until they fully disclose the above and begin unbiased factual reporting.
