I Would Have Bet You One Thousand Dollars It Was Trent Seibert

By Kleinheider Posted on August 29, 2008 at 5:00 pm

The second journalist investigated by rogue THP officer Ronnie Shirley was Victoria Hansen:

A former News 2 anchor was one of two journalists whose personal background was accessed by a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper currently on administrative leave.

Victoria Hansen, who left WKRN-TV in 2006, told News 2 the Tennessee Highway Patrol confirmed with her an unauthorized check of her personal background was conducted.

She was not told why.

Lt. Ronnie Shirley is on administrative leave while the THP investigation continues.

Hansen is the second named journalist on the list of 182 people.

The THP has refused to release the list of names.

    “She was not told why.”

    Why conduct a background check on Trent?

    Hanson had a much bigger audience and Trent had trouble dealing with the daily deadlines at Ch.2 (according to his resignation letter).

    The arrogance of not releasing this list is amazing.

    The media is controlled by a bunch of corporate, boot-licking bureaucrats.

    This guy, with huge connections to this administration, was conducting a witch hunt using state resources.

    Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    I’m beyond fear. I’m lost in bemusement.
