Suzy Ageton; nosey librarian or city council member?

Suzy's attempt to embarrass Crystal Gray at Tuesday's council member faltered, as her fellow council members gave her issues with Crystal a big yawn. The other seven council members basically said, Crystal is great, why are you bothering us with this crap. A clearly embarrassed Suzy Ageton responded that she was simply bringing this up to for the good of the community; but the rest of the council said this is none of our business and has nothing to do with us.

Suzy's busybody attitude may have been popular with past council members, but this council isn't going to tolerate this garbage. Crystal effectively defended her record, and Suzy came off like an ass. Also a big fug you to David Thielin, the only idiot in Boulder to care about Channel 7s yellow journalism; those in the know know that Crystal works 40 plus not just on council activities, and is was one of the most prepared council members on the last city council. (This city council is smarter than the last, so everybody is prepared).

Ryan Morgan, Daily Camera's lazy reporter

This is one lazy Daily Chumpara reporter that is not headed for anything bigger in his career. Having met the reporter at many board and council meetings, he doesn't come off as a rocket scientist, more of a fratish party-boy. He shows his poor reporting skills today in his brilliant investigative story on the front page of the paper today. Take today's in-depth story on Crystal Gray.

Entitled "critics" want Crystal Gray to resign, Morgan proceeds to report on what one "critic" says on his local blog. That's it. No other critic is mentioned. One crazy guy and his crazy blog. I've got news for everybody, what David Thielin's puts on his blog is not even remotely reflective of public opinion in this town, if it was, we would have losers such as Shaun Coleman on council. Thielin has time and time again proven to be out of touch with this community, and regardless, the paper has no business reporting what he writes on his blog.

This is agenda driven reporting at its finest. The Camera is sore over lots of issues, mainly the new council's growth control positions, and this story is how the Camera attacks the council.
