Cory, have you considered a career as an investigative reporter?
ReplyDeleteI believe Joe Prostrollo is originally from Howard, SD is about 50 years old and is a nephew of Jerry Prostrollo. His father may have been Warren Prostrollo who worked as a sales rep for Jerry for decades. Joe, who is always working on something and is creative, may have set up the sites in anticipation of selling them to the Rounds Campaign and pocketing some cash if Rounds decides to take on the disabled Johnson.
ReplyDeleteUnder southdakotastraighttalk, Joe Prostrollo replied to references of him owning the Rounds for Senate sites as follows: "If the fine folks at the paper that comes out in the morning would have checked out all their facts, they would have found out that the only reason I parked the domain names with Rounds in it was for a "scoop." Plain and simple! I was hedging my bet that if I had the names, someone from the Rounds camp would contact me regarding them. I would have turned them over at no charge and thus have the scoop regarding a possible campaign. There is no sinister plot here to uncover. And for the record, no one from the Rounds camp has contacted me and I'll let them expire in February after owning them for 1 year."

Thank you, Anonymi! That info on Joe Prostrollo (with a source, an actual quote right from the man!) is exactly the kind of citizen reporting I like to see. Keep it coming!

ReplyDeleteCory,
ReplyDeleteI do have to give you credit. You have missed your calling. I think I could use you as an investigative reporter on MYSiouxFalls.com. I'm going to give it to you straight and first. I worked at KELO TV earlier this year after 22 years in Denver. I wanted to create a news website that was devoted to video and text content. The technology was advancing to the point that I could use Flash 9 streaming and have a good quality site. There never was any covering up of me owning domain names. The only reason I bought the Rounds ones was the competitiveness of the news reporting. A good reporter wants to be right and sometimes, 1st. Now, as to Shawn Cable. Yes, I know him, I worked with him and he is my friend. We were having coffee at Kaladi's one morning after the After Nine show on KELO. We had our laptops and I owned MYSiouxFalls.com and was developing it. We both decided to park domain names on GoDaddy for like $2.99. He picked names in weather, Iowa, MN, Neb. and god knows where else. Is there a connection between Shawn Cable and MYSiouxFalls.com??? Yes, there it is. He knew I was developing it. And that my friends, is the rest of the story. If you have any questions, ask me. My email is jprostrollo@mysiouxfalls.com. I have nothing to hide. It sure beats the hell out of guessing.
