Media The Arizona Daily Star Is Now Friends With Scott Stiteler
Posted by Jim Nintzel on Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 9:44 AM
The morning daily proclaims in a hard-hitting editorial, "Facebook Group is shortsighted, destructive":
We're distressed and baffled by a destructive Facebook group that is opposing the planned 7,000-square-foot restaurant and bar at the southwest corner of Fifth Avenue and East Congress Street, across from the Rialto Theatre block.
Former state lawmaker Tom Prezelski's response on Facebook:
After years of slanted reporting about Downtown, the Star comes out with an editorial characterizing criticism of redevelopment as destructive.

750 people on the FB group want to help preserve the small, thriving businesses downtown and see new ones move into one of the many already vacant spaces. Not too baffling to me. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.p…
"Facebook group is shortsighted, destructive " Funny, I think that the Arizona Daily Star is short sighted and destructive. And come to think about it... what's more destructive; talking about how all these businesses can successfully coexist, or, um destructing them!? I expect a lot of knee jerk reactions from people who aren't aware of the Rio Nuevo charter, or the fact that at least one of those businesses is protected by a year lease, but ADS should really investigate if they want to play investigative reporter games. Yay facebook! This is the greatest thing we can do with our social network tools, that is, fix our communities. Can't wait to see what you all report, Tucson Weekly.
Ha. Amusing that you calling it "the morning daily". . .as if there were an afternoon paper or something.
This particular piece reveals the ADS underlying fear of social media. If the FB page was pro sportsbar, you can be sure the ADS would have called that stance 'shortsighted and destructive.'
