Belo Corp. Is what makes Dallas one of the crookedest cities in the country and why Kirk, the dem candidate for Senate in Texas could teach Torrecelli some things. Belo subsidiaries own many assests and when Kirk was mayor, he supported many of them. Kirk's wife made a half million is stock options while she was director of a beneficiary company for less than a year. It got mentioned but never covered ("that's old news"). We will never know how many times Mayor Kirk and his friends, families and law firm clients enjoued Belo hospitality.
Belo, AFAIAC, is a classic case of a powerful business complex using its newspaper/TV media to cover/conceal the activites of the other business interests.
