Fort Wayne media primarily operates in a reactionary mode. Aside from covering fires, floods and disasters, they cover stories when prompted to by press releases issues by the authorities or other organizations that they favor.
So, here's a challenge for Fort Wayne media: There is reason to believe that the Treasure House Thrift store/rescue mission, for reasons that are not quite clear, threw out dozens of garbage bags full of clothes that were donated to them. Sounds impossible, right?

If this is a real story, please report it. If this is a hoax or misunderstanding, please let us know.
It is real. I found the trashbags. Newschannel 15 did video interview about it and the items....but won't run it on the TV because Treasure house will not comment
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Jennifer. Channel 15's explanation sounds fishy, as many stories are run where someone involved refuses to, or cannot be reached for comment. It will be interesting to see if any other media outlets will touch the story. It seems clear that WANE TV is protecting someone. They have done that in the past.

ReplyDeleteThat is REALLY fishy, and the main question I would as (were I a real journalist) would be to ask WHY the clothes were dumped when they're apparently NEEDED.
You HAVE to think (if you like to do that sort of thing from time to time) that much of the media runs "interference" for the city as well as other agencies whenever something become "inconvenient".
THAT'S not journalism, and certainly NOT the TRUTH.
Good story and follow up by Jennifer.
Well done.
Stay safe.
