First they watch, then they hate, then they copy

Prior to my post about the lawsuit and parties involved, Times Standard had no idea why Public Defender Marek Reavis was on admin leave.

On March 30, after my post they publish the complaint. Easy to do when the reason why he left was provided by someone else doing the work.

TS and others regularly shows up at arraignments and court hearings after I publish they are happening.

I am flattered that TS and certain local media read my blog. Thank you for regularly using me as a tipster and following up on information I publish first.

Savvy readers notice and I appreciate your support.

Before my blog, regular court and crime coverage was non existent. I created the demand, the readership and had the vision to create something original.  I post updates from Supervisor Bohn's page, they copy.  There are other examples and the haters and critics know it.
