Before you scroll down to see the depth of the media pile-on crushing our city. Let me tell you about something we all missed. At the meeting last night they admitted in writing there was unjustified spending at the amphitheater. You can’t find a single story on the $1 million+ that passed through the former amphitheater manager’s personal bank account. To date, I’m the only person who wrote anything about the city suing their former manager over $400,000 in that same account. Now, look at how many times they spammed a story about $4000 alongside completely unfounded allegations of sexual impropriety.
After you peruse this list. Then go try to find any details of the amphitheater financial debacle. There is 1000X the money flowing into free rooftop parties you can’t attend. You can go see video of it on instagram if you want. But you can’t go up there and eat free tay payer funded lamb chops on a comped ticket.
JULY 2026 — Investigation & privilege stripping
Total raw result rows (every syndicated copy counted): 724
Unique URLs: 284
Syndication multiplier: 2.55x (raw/unique)
Breakdown of what that means:
- ~724 is the total number of times this story cluster appeared across every search query I ran. That’s the “including republishing and syndication” number — same article showing up under MSN, AOL, Yahoo, and multiple query variations.
- ~284 unique URLs is the real count of distinct pages. Even so, this is a conservative floor because:
- MSN/AOL/Yahoo are Bing-syndicated mirrors of the SAME underlying WSB/11Alive/FOX5/AJC story, so many of those 284 are the same article on different hosts.
- I only queried the outlets you named plus a few extras. I did not crawl every Atlanta outlet (e.g., Atlanta Journal-Constitution full archive, local blogs beyond the amphitheater one).
Bottom line estimates:
- Distinct news stories (deduped, excluding video-only and syndicated mirrors): roughly 60–70
- Distinct web PAGES (unique URLs, all outlets + syndication): ~284
- Total result appearances across all queries: ~724
