all PR, print something real

And this is news,why?

[WTF]

Not a bad gimmick (for real-estate agent).

This article reads like a paid advertisement for Tam Realty. Not exactly becoming of the quality and professional journalism expected from the Marin IJ.
Were there no other stories you could feature on the front page of the Marin Snapshot today other than a real estate agent walking the streets of Marin? Surely there are plenty of other people that walk the streets of Marin simply for relaxation and enjoyment - not to stake out new business.

How about volunteering for every charity in Marin for at least a day?

Somthing to be said for taking at least one car off the streets...

The Marin IJ fell for a publicity stunt to give the Realtors free advertising.

What chumps.

EXACTLY my thoughts. The Marin IJ merely cooperated in a concocted publicity stunt for a Realtor. What junk "reporting."

Of all the stories that could be told on the IJ, they chose a Realtor. Wonder why?$$$$$$$$$

Its not news. Its a cooperation between a Realtor pulling a publicity stunt and the Marin IJ.

So much for NEUTRAL "journalism." Just another reason why the local newspapers are near total death. JUNK news.

Is this a paid advertisement for Tam Realty?
