The Tarrant Tattler

07/29/2025

For a police chief that is supposedly a licensed attorney, Chief Major doesn't seem to either know or care about the law. It's blatantly illegal for him to campaign with anyone -- as he's also been seen doing with Tommy Bryant.

Of course, this is Tarrant, where the council people and the police chief don't care about the law unless it serves THEM.

Imitation is not always flattering. Especially when the copies are:
1. So very obviously using ChatGPT for their content.
2. The cartoons are also obvious AI. Ours were hand-drawn. We miss you, J. Coleman.
3. The "satire" isn't funny, or satirical. Or....anything resembling satire or even parody.
4. The "truths" spoken are as one-sided as carbon paper. There's fact, and then there's opinion. Truth is often found somewhere between what two people think or say.

--------
We may be in flux, but we'll never be single issue or one-sided. We try to be as neutral as possible, even though we care deeply about the community. We're still watching; and we are legion. There are lots of "tattles" that no one knows about, so we know about a lot of things.

-- The original, always imitated but never duplicated, Tarrant Tattler.

K....Bye.

We would love to be a fly on the wall for this but since it’s gonna be live-streamed, we’ll make some popcorn

It's not exactly a Camp David summit, but it's a step.

There have been multiple pages created to sling mud at all the candidates for office.

Let us be clear: we have nothing to do with any of them. When we post, we don’t sling mud, we toss the truth out for all to see.

We can also write in full paragraphs without the need of video clips to appease those with short attention spans. We turned from satire into real citizen journalism, since Tarrant politics are crazy enough that we never had to make anything up.

There’s a difference in relating information with a sense of humor and attacking people. We won’t engage in petty attacks and insults; our snark is more refined.

That is all. Bye now.

We really wish FB let you post a whole album of video clips instead of one at a time, it would make more sense when you're telling a story. Oh well.

None of the incumbents (except Mayor Newton) attended so couldn't be interviewed for our video series, one candidate for district 4 didn't show and we missed Ms. Ragland by a few seconds.

Most of the answers were the same: "Get along, listen, cooperate, work together, etc."

Only Mr. Cooper and Mr. Pilkington said something entirely different. And Mr. Newton took two parts to get it all in. ;)

We hope hearing it straight from their mouths helps to make a decision.

K.....bye.
