Jackson Free Press

JFP editors Donna Ladd and Brian Johnson will join Kim Wade on WJNT (1180 AM) today (Wednesday, May 31) at 5 p.m. to talk about the city's refusal to answer the JFP's open-records requests for the last year, as well as the attorney general's announcement about his investigation of Frank Melton, which will be made today at 4 p.m. Tune in, and pass the word.

(Note: This is a milestone of sorts—the first time Donna Ladd has agreed to sit down with Kim since the JFP launched.)

Is Kim that bad? :) I don't listen to talk radio.

Kim's not bad, but he's definitely an acquired taste. He holds very strong conservative opinions, and is unapologic for being a black conservative, but he developed a strongly negative opinion of Melton a few weeks before last year's Democratic mayoral primary (some of it is a personal beef, which he freely admits) and has been pretty dead-on accurate about how he (Melton) would behave in office.

I'm not crazy about the way Kim Wade handled the allegations against Melton--but one of the few wise things Donald Rumsfeld ever said on camera is that you go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had. Give 'em hell, folks--and kudos on all the media appearances! Cheers, TH

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled about that, either -- and asked Mr. Wade not to go into those issues today. Which he didn't. I think it was a good show. We'll podcast it as soon as Pat can get it ready.
