What Faulconer didn't tell Candy Crowley
Fact #1: The city documenting and announcing it's strengths and weaknesses ("Luna's July performance audit of the city's office of Homeland Security") is a testimony to good governance by demonstrating both accountability and transparency. Fact #2: A more accurate title for the article: "What CNN's Crowley Didn't Ask San Diego's Mayor." It's up to the journalists - especially at the national level - to do the research and ask the right questions for the viewers, not for the city's Mayor to voluntarily offer negative messages about our city much less our state of emergency readiness. Fact #3: The fundamental goal of any professional publicist (person managing the news media) is to get the truth out. We are not "paid liars" any more than an attorney, a politician or a journalist who all earn their living by communicating facts accurately to the public. Fact #4: From where I sit as a third-generation native, San Diego remains America's Finest City for a wide variety of reasons not least of which is very low friction between law enforcement and citizenry. San Diego instituted "community policing" way back in the 1990's and it's paid off. In this case, no news is very good news.
