It's all about me.

A New Orleans freelance journalist blew up on Instagram when her New York Daily News cover photo about the Albert Sterling shooting in Baton Rouge was pushed to the side in favor of coverage from Dallas.  She busted her butt to get a photo that was going to get some national recognition for it and then boom!  Her photo gets bumped for an even bigger story.  Needless to say, she did not take it too well.  See for yourself.

What a horrible, nasty, shallow person. Soulless.

Its awful how everyone how everyone both the right and the left are playing the race/white supremacy card and trying to divide us. I would encourage everyone to consider the Libertarian view that we need to shrink the state, change police officers to "peace" officers and stop this ridiculous war on drugs that is the root cause of the historic government spending on policing. It is also the root cause of what shifted most americans view on the police as protecting and serving to a much more aggressive overreach from the federal government. The sad reality is that both Hilary and Trump are Keynesians and will continue to grow the government and we will all feel hostility from the authoritarians, I mean the authorities! Blue live matter for sure but its not because they are blue. They are some of the most patriotic folks we have and to work for 29K a year chasing around poor people is the saddest example of government waste I can think of. Black lives of course matter but the idea that we would set up a zero sum game between black live and blue lives won't bode well for black folks. This is not a zero sum game and BLM needs to come out in support of the police that died protecting their 1st amendment right. The police need to focus on peace making and lay off the policing, as the 2nd amendment is as important as the first and the people (all people) will not tolerate a police state. Especially in Mississippi.

By the way,shout out to the church community in Jackson that is doing some incredible work around racial reconciliation. That's why the deep south is less vulnerable to these unfortunate outbursts. We went through this kind of Thomas J Foolery in 1968. South Carolina and the church shooting a year ago is proof that the rest of the country can learn a lot from the faith community in the south.

Has that church community come out and expressed outrage over the MDE audit of JPS?

Shouldn't a journalist be able to write a coherent sentence? Even a photo journalist? Megandoesneedanotherjob

Why does every story in the Jackson Free Press, regardless of journalist, read/sound the same?

Yes, the officers died just to mess up your story. Words cannot express my feelings on such a person. People died and she is mad about a story. If there is a hell there is a special spot for this person.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
