I’m sorry, but it needs to be said:
Inviting Robert Slater as a ‘serious candidate’ and Greg Groogan as a ‘serious journalist’ was a major misstep in last night’s TX-18 Congressional debate.
Elevating bad faith actors undermines the integrity of the conversation and disrespects voters.
The extent to which Fox26's Greg Groogan will go to enable and further the political interests of well-connected special interests Dolcefino profits from is quite extraordinary.
Zero disclosure to viewers of who is paying for these investigations or their motives.

NEW: Houston's News Makers Flock to Bluesky

“We have posts that are exactly the same on Twitter and on Bluesky, and with those identical posts, Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more…” “Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited.”~ @ashtonpittman.bsky.social
Local media organizations are getting more engagement on Bluesky than on Twitter/X because that platform throttles external links.
More in a story TK next week.
