It's articles like this gem from today that reinforces by belief that the Connecticut Post should shut down the News-Times and move everything up to Bridgeport.
Joe Carlucci, co-owner of Famous Joe's Pizzeria at 34 White St., will appear on the WPIX Channel 11 Morning Show from 6:30 to 9 a.m. Carlucci owns Famous Joe's with Chris Baruso.
[...]
The WPIX show will be doing a live take of Carlucci every hour, with featured clips of him in between.
Let me get this straight...
A local business owner, who holds the Guinness Book of World Records" for having the highest pizza toss, was on THIS MORNING'S news show on Channel 11 from 6:30 to 9:00 A.M. and the paper of record posted the announcement at 10:15 A.M?!?
Like I said, I sincerely hope the Connecticut Post closes the News-Times down and consolidate everything in Bridgeport. It’s not like the News-Times is really informing the public about anything locally when it comes to the city government and having no news is better than the garbage that's spewing out of this disgraceful periodical.
No wonder so many reporters and employees decided to jump ship and leave in the last year...I'd be embarrassed to work for such a shoddy newspaper that repeatedly fails to properly inform the public.
Launching a weekly (or bi-weekly) paper in Danbury is becoming more tempting by the minute.
UPDATE: Well, I guess it was in the print edition but I wouldn't know because I canceled my subscription months ago.
Still, what's with the timestamp? Ah, the drama...

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
