Governor Bentley’s alleged affair and possible misuse of state resources has filled the headlines over the last few weeks. One website’s been breaking story after story.
Who’s behind Yellowhammer News? You’ve probably heard and seen the name, but is it a reputable news outlet?
Alabama News Network gets a behind the scenes look at the Birmingham-based operation. The founder explains his reasoning behind releasing the explicit audio of the governor and how they make the decision to run with a story.
Cliff Sims, CEO Yellowhammer News said, “This story was effecting the work that was being done on behalf of the people in the governor’s office. You listen to the recordings they are talking about doing these things in the governor’s office. You have abuse of power allegations, using state resources, I mean this is a story that needed to be told.”
