Media snark site Gawker gave a pat on the back today to The Commercial Appeal for calling out Schnucks on its deceptive statements. Recall that the St. Louis-based grocery chain denied it was closing up shop in Memphis mere days before it did that very thing.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal took the extraordinary (but should not be extraordinary) step of pointing out that a PR person lied to it -- Lori Willis, head of communications for Schnucks grocery stores, told the paper outright that the company was not going to be sold, just days before it was sold. Her penance: being cursed forever with the title of "Schnucks spokesperson."
Good job! Now, what about the shady deal BHO made with Solyndra? The one where he funneled over $535m to one of his donors. Give us the real scoop on that corruption.
