- The alternative weekly paper that published the Gannon/Gosch
piece closed its doors the day the story came out and will not print another
issue. The paper will apparently be printing under the name of another
alt-type weekly paper in town (cityview) but the writer of the Pointblank
piece - the managing editor - was fired.
-
- Apparently, the company that owns the new paper is owned
by Michael Gartner, a high-powered individual in Des Moines who owns the
Minor league baseball team in that town, oversees a state board that disburses
funds to big business, and was a former writer for the Des Moines Register
and Tribune who once won a Pulitzer. He was also once president of NBC
news, but was forced to leave after the debacle when they blew up trucks
with rockets to make them look like they exploded on impact.
