It appears that Michael Finney and his news director, Kevin Keeshan,
at KGO-TV (Channel 7) in San Francisco were duped by Craigslist CEO
Jim Buckmaster and Southwest Airlines President Colleen Barrett's
spokespeople. This is the new wave of journalists who put the
sensationalism of a story before the due diligence, investigation,
etc. of said story!
Here is story..

If Finney had done a simple Google search for..."southwest scammer
craigslist" (or similar variations) for the web and/or newsgroups he
would have had to revise his story because he would have seen that
both Jim Buckmaster & Colleen Barrett's folks lied to him! They were
well aware of the scam! The scammer was on the web the day he did the
story, as was the due diligence to catch him. Why do the story if you
don't care...unbelievable!
You cannot even believe a so-called Emmy Award winning journalist
anymore!
If you are or were scammed, contact the people below!
