New York Daily News' Sin of Omission: White candidates prefered to black and brown

By sin of omision I am refering to Shant Shahrigian's article about the NYC comptroler race. He is white, and his piece puts the white candidates first and foremost in the article, completely omitting the facts about John Tabacco who is NOT a trader as he is barred from trading. Shahrigian might look at broker.com Sharigian might be hard to reach, the press these days is using Covid as an excuse to do hit pieces and then run. I feel like I just watched an accident and am chasing down a car, driven through the ghetto by a rich white man. There was no mention in the article of Daby Carreras, who is both Black and Hispanic. So that might be two strikes against him in the eyes of the New York Daily News, which was once owned by white woman Ghislaine Maxwell. Who is now a burden on the taxpayer as she sits in prison, accused of crimes against minors, some of whom say she was like a nazi contentration camp guard. So no surprise if racism is not rampant where she used to run her mouth and her opinions. A friend of mine, Ken Gibson, reached out to Mr Shahrigian today, calling him twice with facts. Let's see if Sharigian is man enough to respond. I'd like to know who owns this rag or why it's even still around. Might someone there have reasons to exclude Daby Carreras, who has always worked hard to expose corruption? And who lives in Harlem, runs a charity or two and a community garden? There's lots to write about here folks. But somehow I doubt that Shahrigian, or ANY of the reporters at this predominantly white rag, ever come to Harlem. But they don't have to come to the hood to meet the best candidate for NYC comptroller. Let them feel at ease on Wall Street, where they might be surprised to see someone black and brown handling billions of $ with hundreds of top clients. Daby has to work harder, being black and brown, than many of his white counterparts. I wonder if the reporters at this paper even left the office or did a background search on their subjects. Scott Stringer, for instance, who does not account for about $1billion that seems to be missing from the city, possibly embezzled by the mayor's wife? Stringer refused to answer a direct question about this on Sunday, 14 March when questioned in the street - Stringer was standing outside a park by the way that has was illegally taken from the public by white people. The brown and black seldom ever get to stroll inside Lt. Tighe Park on Riverside Drive/Seaman Avenue and Dyckman Street. That too could be a story for a diligent paper. Mr Sharigian, are you listening? Or are you just content to do a story about a rich white man and leave out a more competent - and honest - black and brown individual? Sometimes the press is not lying directly; it lies by what it omits. And by its ommissions it shows its real nature.

GOP candidate turned to toast in Brooklyn

Last night Daby Carreras went out to the Brooklyn GOP meeting. As this race heats up, the contenders are getting nervous. And that includes John Tobacco, about whom I wrote positively, suggesting he run for Public Advocate. My bad, I was not in possession of all the facts. Since my post, much light has been shed on Tobacco. He got lit up as the truth emerged, with revelations about the 11 instances of his using clients' money wrongfully and how he is banned in the industry. Thus he is in no position to handle the public purse. Further, Tobacco changes parties like socks. In '97 he was GOP, then Independence then blank, then SAM, then back to GOP just recently. He was against Trump but wants the Trumpster vote. Tobacco got exposed as Carreras shared the truth with the B'klyn GOP; some of whom were not appreciative. For those of you who don't already know, Carreras is not only Hispanic but Black; and Polish, as is Guardian Angels head Curtis Sliwa, who was in attendance. Sliwa has been trying to run for Mayor, and as I noted already, I like the dude - but I don't see him in Gracie Mansion. I support Fernando Mateo for Mayor - who is also Black and Hispanic. Sliwa would be a great Public Advocate, and this was mentioned on the radio just last week. So things are boiling over at GOP HQ. I can't predict the outcome, but I can say that Tobacco got burned.
