This can be said most recently during the Alice Davis Missing Person Report. You see, Salisbury News never got a Press Release from the Sheriff's Office. That is, until we went almost two days later to their Website and found one there.
While many have claimed Joe Albero was regularly tipped off by Sheriff Mike Lewis on several cases, that couldn't be further from the truth. Take today's Post about the Bloods case. Once again, Salisbury News got that information OUTSIDE of the Sheriff's Office, yet I'm sure Mike is ticked off because we had it, (once again) before anyone else.
In the Alice Davis case, again, Salisbury News published it two days before the Daily Times had anything and well before the MSM. So why is this important. Well, is it possible that someone reading our article saw Mrs. Davis? Is it possible someone reading Salisbury News could have seen her and reported it to the Sheriff's Office/Police? I respect the fact that the Sheriff's Office doesn't put out a missing person's report until 24 hours have passed but that doesn't mean I agree with it. If we can, (in any way) help save a life we will do so, period.
Sheriff Lewis wants to "control" the media and in my honest opinion he's in the wrong country for that. Maybe they can use a guy like him in China but this is the United States of America where we have FREE PRESS, or so we thought. Salisbury News was convenient each and every time Sheriff Mike Lewis needed us but God Forbid we ever disagree, get out of my sand box. Maybe we should be able to pick and choose Sheriff's, like he does Press.
Over the many years that I have been doing this I have yet to rely on Sheriff Mike Lewis for tips. In fact, Sheriff Lewis is always amazed that I have information, (sometimes before he does) and regularly comments to me about it. Nevertheless, now he feels by cutting me off completely, no one can say he does such a thing. Well, HOW'S IT WORKING FOR YOU MIKE?
Every week I seem to prove to my audience that I can deliver breaking news well before the rest of the Press and it has nothing to do with tips from Sheriff Mike Lewis or his Deputies. I have no inside sources within the Sheriff's Office. In fact, allow me to explain just how I learned about Alice Davis missing.
The Sheriff's Office and WBI started calling around to ALL of Mrs. Davis' friends and co-workers. After receiving a few phone calls from those friends and co-workers we knew something was up. We made a few phone calls and it was confirmed 24 hours BEFORE any of the rest of the Press was made aware.
It's because of our loyal and dedicated readers, WE CHOOSE what is important enough to publish, NOT the Sheriff. Mind you, IF I feel it could interfere with a criminal investigation I will not publish it. You win some and you lose some, that's how I see it. I will also state publicly that I did in fact send Sheriff Lewis a text message asking him to confirm or deny Mrs. Davis was missing, he did not respond. To be totally truthful with you, out of respect I usually do send Mike a text before I publish something concerning the Sheriff's Department but he does not reply any more. Well, rarely, that is.
Today we learned there is a Press Conference at 5:00 PM today referencing Mrs. Davis. I text Mike to confirm, he refuses to reply. I have been told he insists I be left out of the loop, even though we published the Breaking News well ahead of everyone else. Could the rest of the MSM be placing political pressure on Sheriff Lewis to make sure Salisbury News doesn't get it first. The answer is, absolutely, yes! There's NO other reason Sheriff Lewis would black ball us. We have always been respectful and we have always helped law enforcement.
Sheriff Mike Lewis is becoming too big for his britches, (shown above). Kissing babies and shaking hands is not leadership. Black balling the FREE PRESS is not leadership. Being controlled by the Main Stream Media because he knows they don't have the balls to challenge him isn't leadership.
I believe its important for two people to disagree and be able to move forward. However, Joe Albero and Salisbury News will NOT be controlled. Mike knows that and rather than dealing with whatever might face his department, black ball us and maybe he'll go away.
Could this be one of the reasons his veteran deputies are jumping ship? Are they unhappy with the way he is turning into a dictator? Ask them. Ask them if the promises he made while running for election are being kept. What's that old quote? "Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely"?
Will THIS Press Conference Rock the Criminal World, again? Will Sheriff Lewis follow the lead of Wicomico County States Attorney Matt Maciarello who had my phone number blocked by Verizon? One man, one Blog, two scardy cats. Now THAT'S leadership. LMAO
