Links provided to this week's top Turner Report/Inside Joplin posts

In this week's most visited Turner Report, I apologized for writing a post about former Joplin R-8 Chief Operations Officer Tina Smith and using a picture of Margaret Hamilton in her famous 1939 role as the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz.

Surprisingly, the post I was apologizing for only finished in the number three spot. Otherwise, top Turner Report posts,with only two exceptions were about Joplin R-8 topics.

The top Inside Joplin post was published today and concerned the death of a Joplin woman in a motorcycle accident and the arrest of the driver of that motorcycle on DWI and felony manslaughter charges. Not only did the post receive the most traffic of any post on this week on Inside Joplin, but at this writing it is already received more traffic than any Inside Joplin post since the blog began in November 2013.

8 of top 10 posts are r-8 related. Is it any wonder these get the most traffic? It continues to be all you write about. Obsess much? Sad....

Yes Randy...as a seasoned journalist, you should know better than to write about local corruption, coverups, and the ongoing devastation to the lives of local people. A REAL reporter glorifies those currently in power in our local institutions and then collecting ad revenue from local businesses.

You know nothing Randy Turner!
