Cocaine Intervention Planned For Mayor

In light of numerous rumors and allegations of Mayor Gavin Newsom’s cocaine use, Fog City Journal would like to hear from anyone who has witnessed the mayor using cocaine, or witnessed the mayor purchasing cocaine since he has been an elected official.

While Newsom has pointedly denied all rumors of alleged cocaine use, Fog City Journal asserts, if an elected official has blatanty lied to the electorate, voters have a right to know.

So, they want to know. All correspondence will be treated in the strictest of confidence. Fog City Journal reserves the right to verify any and all claims with the assurance that names will not be mentioned, or published, for your protection. They only seek to publish accounts that we have verified and are one hundred percent satisfied are true.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.

When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.

Email all correspondence to editor@fogcityjournal.com.

Fog City Journal: Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Noyes Annoys Newsom

Investigative journalist with the Channel 7 I-Team, Dan Noyes, was deliberately snubbed by Gavin Newsom following a press conference, Wednesday; in which, questions were taken. The cold shoulder is a product the product of solid journalism holding the Newsom to accountability and exposing his poor decisions and lack of leadership - finally resulting in this chilly meltdown.

Fog City Journal writes elected officials are obligated to give an honest and truthful answer to any question posed by journalists. The fourth estate, after all, is an essential component of our democracy that functions to protect the public from abuse of powers and to inform the public about important issues.
“The mayor is happy to talk to any reporter and any reporter from channel 7, but has made it clear on a number of occasions his views on Dan Noyes."
~ Nathan Ballard, The Mayor’s Office of Communications

By not responding to Noyes’ question, Newsom comes across as weak and incapable of handling tough questions. Are we to conclude that Newsom has something to hide, or that he lacks the skill to deal with reporters he perceives to be hostile?

Essentially, this is the baseball equivalent to Newsom standing in the on deck circle until the Channel 7 I-Team replaces ace pitcher, Barry Zito, with a reliever from the bullpen to lob a few soft balls his way. What a wimp?
