In Buffalo, more than anywhere, there is a growing need for media accountability.

In this space I'll try to add some perspective to the local media scene in Buffalo.


Biggest Constant: Media Watch on Illuzziletter.com - Perhaps the largest media scam going. In my opinion one of the greatest local media charlatans of all time is Joe Illuzzi, the publisher of The Illuzzi Letter.

Originially a breath of fresh air in a community bereft of news coverage, Illuzzi has proven to be one huge con-game reinvented. He has abandoned all objectivity, clearly being in the camp of Steve Pigeon, and utilizing a full-time City Comptroller employee as a "writer" for his publication.

There is much to investigate about this sham of a report - with Joe currently free on $25,000 bail for being a deadbeat dad to the tune of $50,000, and many debts filed at the Clerks office.

You'll find much of the information, often updated, right here.
