This 624th episode is a follow-up to Ep 623: "Becoming the Story!" It discusses the article published on Friday, March 20, 2026, by The Courier Times Editor/Reporter Travis Weik. The article, "More Jail Footage Reviewed Following Gulley's Death," reports on the death of Nicholas Gulley II on Friday, February 27, 2026, after being on life support in the ICU for over a month, following a ten-day stay at the Henry County Jail. The fact that reporter Travis Weik tried to start the article with a false claim and point fingers at Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey set things off on the wrong foot. Not to mention the strange feeling that Weik and the newspaper seem more focused on playing PR rep for Sheriff John M. Sproles than on investigating what actually happened and following the story to its true, factual conclusion. All this and more make Bilbrey and the team question what is really going on, and he covers it all in this episode! #ThePoliticalSpotlight

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey explains that, despite all the chaos in Henry County involving Sheriff John M. Sproles and the Henry County Sheriff's Department, the local newspaper (The Courier-Times) will apparently publish a story soon that references a claim about Bilbrey and 'The Political Spotlight' that isn't even true. #ThePoliticalSpotlight
