Weekly supplemental paper sued by the Kansas City Star for $2.2 million goes all-digital

Rise Up, the weekly supplemental newspaper on race issues published by former Kansas City mayoral candidate Janice Ellis, is now publishing online.

Rise Up went belly up in August, 2008, just two months after its debut. It was published at the Kansas City Star's printing facility and was distributed in several metropolitan cities. (See the new site here.)

The Kansas City Star filed suit against Janice Ellis and Rise Up for $2.2 million. That case is pending. (Details here.) A Los Angeles newspaper group has also filed suit against Rise Up for $93,000 for breach of contract.

Below is a photo of Janice Ellis during her pre-digital days. And before lawsuits totaling $2.3 million were filed against her. (Photo credit: AP/Day Life)

That is one butt ugly con artist.

Oh Shit! The Future of Journalism according to Mr Trilateral Commission, One World Government with Socialism for you, run by us, John D Rockefeller himself.

That ought to be interesting considering his family history and their use of the media to further their goals.

Rise Up was just a pre-election drivel rag to elect a white/black candidate. Odd how Obooma is always labeled the first black president. I am sure he is half white, and that somehow gets put on a backburner. I say he is the first white/black man to become president. He changed his name from Barry to Barack to get some street cred with his newfound bros. I think Zieman wanted to help the Bam, and thought Soros was paying the freight.

Research H.R. 1966, Bilderberg, Trilateral and Council on Foreign Relations and realize what people really have planned for you while you play your Red and Blue reindeer games. Enjoy posting insults while you can.

You simply don't know what you are talking about, nor met or worked for Janice. Her own "community" doesn't even like nor respect her. Believe me, and I am in a position to know, her motives are pure and simple profit.

In person she's an attractive elegant lady. The schoolmarm look was contrived for her mayoral run.
