| Juan Montoya, Jerry McHale |
Our town's two monetized bloggers, Jerry McHale and Juan Montoya, would likely characterize themselves as independent journalists who happen to sell advertising on their respective blogs.
Montoya could actually make somewhat of a case for that characterization, running daily ads for Cyndi Hinojosa, Alex Begum, the Law Giant, Sofia Benavides and Luis Sorolla.
McHale's blog features no ads, but photos with clever headlines like "DR. NORMA & MR. ED STAY HIGH!!! FOES GO LOW!!!," "DELTA DAVE ENDORSES DR. NORMA & MR. ED!!," "FROM HEAVEN RUBEN WON'T LET TSC GO TO HELL!!! GO NORMA!!!" and "AS JULIETA'S LAPDOGS, TZ & HILDA SOLD OUT TSC!!!"
With the Brownsville Herald now reduced to the size of a greeting card and published out of town, locals turn to social media, blogs and possibly even a podcast for "news," making the efforts of our two bloggers-for-hire more influential than such operations might be in Des Moines, Las Vegas or Seattle.
In an era in which Rupert Murdoch's Fox News paid out in excess of $787M for repeated lies and untruths, it's only exercizing due diligence to find out who's paying these two bloggers to write and that person's agenda.
A reader, who claims to work for our court system, shared some insight in that regard earlier today:
"Jim, yes, politiqueros are still a factor in deciding who win elections, but other officials also play a role. Adela Garza has been grooming Juan Montoya for many years, recently buying his daughter a new wardrobe for college. She is dirty, Jim. I don't know what she pays McHale or Mario Saenz but neither work for free."

Now, if the above comment is accurate, it might explain why Montoya and McHale have been relentlessly promoting the two replacement candidates Adela Garza advertised on her Facebook page while denigrating the candidates they're running against.

What a great gesture of Miss Adela Garza. Clothes are very important for girls and clothes are so expensive. Thank you Miss Adela Garza for helping out a future leader. Hopefully, the young lady gets BDay money to buy shoes, make up, purses etc
ReplyDeleteI do not know much about Juan Montoya but I think he is a single father.. Fathers do not know much about clothes and probably the daughter doesn't want to ask the dad for extra money. Some kids are like that.
That’s not the point 9:57, if the gesture was performed whole-heartedly then of course what a lucky blessing. But that’s definitely not the case, Adela is paying for their clothes to have the blogger in her pocket. She wants him to either not post anything about her candidates or post negative on the opponents of her candidates. Adela is not a good person, ask anyone, she’s the kind of person that will come up to you, she’ll expect you to go to her, and if you don’t you get placed in her little black book of people she doesn’t like. Yup, that’s how petty she is. Consider bloggers like El Rrun Rrun and McHale mainstream media in a micro perspective. This blog seems to be the most honest IMO
