According to a message in Detroit Uncover, Steve Wilson has been let go from WXYZ. Can anyone verify this or is this just a rumor. |

He has a big expose tonight at 11; I doubt if he would be let go by Channel 7. If he was, Channel 2 or 4 would quickly swoop him up. |

Just wishful thinking on the mayor's part. He's still a big part of 7. |

"He has a big expose tonight at 11" A big expose? A few car rentals that may or may not have been reimbursed? Steve is looking like an amateur in this mayoral scandal. He needs to come up with something good soon or this rumor could turn into truth. |

Dogperson, where is this rumor posted on Detroit Uncovered? I looked at that site and didn't find anything. |

Steve works for WXYZ. The station instructs him to go out and find whatever information he can as far as KK is concerned or any wrongdoings from others here in Michigan. He's only doing a job. Some of you sound as though that it's just him out there, working on his own when it's not just him. Give the guy a break, if it wasn't for him digging, all the other investigative reporters on the other stations would have nothing. I think Steve has been shoved and pushed around more than his fair share. Had he not pursued the red navigator incident, maybe none of this would have come out at all. |

It's not on Detroituncovered (which has had no original information in quite a while). It's in the comments at the Freep. Supposedly WXYZ has a new GM - is that true? Freep comments There's nothing about it on the buzzboard. (Message edited by lilpup on April 07, 2008) |

I think its funny that people accused him of being "after" the mayor. Well come to find out all the stuff he was investigating was true and it has all come to light what a shady character KK is. Maybe Steve Wilson lucked out that KK really was a scam or maybe he knew it all along. |

Sounds to me like disinformation that could be easily planted... just plant little seeds of doubt around the local web and get people talking about it. |
