Jerry McHale, Founding member.South Texas Independent
Journalists Association(STIJA)
As if it has to be spelled out, Jerry McHale does not actually consult an operational polling entity to give his favored candidates the proverbial lift.
STIJA President Anthony Starr has no official duties and, no, Bobby Wightman-Cervantes does not apply for inclusion in the association annually, only to be stifled by the down votes of local journalists.
It is satire, a vehicle for Jerry's stories to make a point.
All but the thickest of Brownsville residents and readers of the blogosphere understand this, with the possible exception of Bobby Wightman-Cervantes.
Bobby, who I've said for years, finds dots, but simply can't connect them, mixes up stories in the most convoluted way, confusing himself and totally baffling anyone who tries to make sense of his almost daily blog offerings.
In Wightman's latest feeble stab at journalism, he states what has been obvious to all of us for years:
Barton calls it the most accurate in the area. It is just a lie. McHale has never ever posted the methodology of his fake polls. Such a poll would cost easily $10,000. Who paid for it. How many people were surveyed? How were they chosen?
McHale posts no methodology because there is no such thing as the STIJA. McHale says I have applied to be part of the organization. Never happened because no such organization exists.
Bobby Wightman-Cervantes Good heavens! Is it even possible to be a Brownsville blogger for years and just now discover that Jerry's STIJA is satirical?BTW, in a recent story, McHale raises the question: "Is Unbought Bobby Brownsville's Best Blogger?"Don't take that too seriously either Bobby. It's meant tongue-in-cheek, satirically, if you will, and it likely goes over your head like most everything else.
First of all. If it was a reputable association they would want NOTHING TO DO WITH A MAN WHO HAS THE RATIONAL OF A CRACK ADDICT. Second of all. He has a sick obsession with the astute Michael Hernandez III and can’t see over his own damn pot belly.

ReplyDeleteDoes BobbyWC have a world-class inferiority complex? Insecure people react in the way he always react to criticism, by lashing out. Best to IGNORE him, like I do.
