Frank Melton ‘assassinated’ in new TV docudrama
The following is satire – get over it. Credit goes to the Times of London for the writing style. This is the dramatic moment when Mayor Frank Melton is gunned down by someone who still has not gotten over the fact that their candidate lost the last election after knocking down a crack house in…

JFP highlighted for hosting questionable advertising – UPDATED
**OPINION** Marsha Thompson in a WLBT 3 On Your Side piece this evening lit up the classifieds of the JFP who accepts some allegedly shady advertising for national firms in their partially syndicated classified section. In their piece, WLBT focused on an ad that advertised Postal Jobs. After calling a 1-800 number, the victim is…

Video Summary of Faux-tography
Might help explain the silly pic this week. To wit, our crack team at MississippiPolitics has put together our own propaganda. Now that she’s free’d from the shackles of war-torn Beirut, Beirut Betty is free to travel and visit everything that makes the world great! At Graceland! Doing Rock City Doing Detroit Rock City Romancing…

The (freak) week in pictures – updated AGAIN
Pro-Life and Abortion Rights activists have descended on Jackson, MS this week for a major showdown. It’s bibles vs. body odor. It’s big bloody pictures vs. unattractive ladies in peasant dresses. We had a little technical difficulty on linking pictures for this week’s abortion protest for some reason. We have checked and the pictures are…

Mike Moore’s running for Lt. Gov.
Though it may or may not be true, it is no joke. The rumor is circulating in political circles that Mike Moore is weighing a run at Lt. Governor. If so, he would be the presumptive nominee to run against the winner of Bryant vs. Ross. His motivations are rumored to be payback against the…

In the Bullpen
When asked about 2007, Tate predictably downplays his intentions. It is fairly obvious that he intends to run again for Treasurer, but as a man who watches over billions of dollars, he plays his cards pretty close to the vest.

JFP disses the Clarion Ledger by omission
The JFP gave a shout out to the Times Picayune and Sun Herald for their Pulitzers earned for Katrina-related coverage. By very obvious omission, they did not point out that Clarion Ledger reporter Jerry Mitchell, now elevated to civil rights icon status, and the brilliant Marshall Ramsey were both finalists in their respective categories.

Melton Crazy? Like a fox.
Melton, a television station owner for over 20 years, is keenly aware that the cameras are rolling and that reporters are watching his every move. He uses that free media to control the debate and keep the attention squarely focused on the things that matter to him most.

A Doe-Eyed Interview with Melton
A Doe-Eyed Interview with Melton For 12 months of bluster and the “if-I-ever-get-my-hands-on-him” fury, the JFP interview with Frank Melton turned into doe-eyed fawning of the man. Melton completely controlled the interview (as if there were any doubt). Funny how everyone’s a villan until they talk to the JFP. It seems to follow a long…

New Melton Poll a Setup
by Alan Lange I had really committed myself tonight not to comment about this poll. Given the sponsors, I placed very little stock in the results. But I have to say I knew I smelled a rat when I watched WAPT tonight and saw the phrasings of the questions posed in this supposed poll. WAPT…
