She blasts 'witch hunt'; successor doubts '06 Katies were legitimate
Elizabeth Albanese may be one of the most honored journalists in North Texas. Or she could be at the center of one of its biggest media scandals.
The organization she led until last month, the Press Club of Dallas, is investigating whether she truly earned the four awards she won in a contest for which she helped arrange the judging.
Documents obtained by The Dallas Morning News show that Ms. Albanese has a criminal record under the name Lisa Albanese centered on allegations of theft. Former co-workers described a history of spinning lies. She also has a record of mental illness and delusional behavior.
"It's incredible," said the Press Club of Dallas Foundation's president, Rand LaVonn, when told of The News' findings. "I'm stunned."
Ms. Albanese, in an interview with The News, at first said she was the victim of mistaken identity – that she had no criminal record.
"I don't know what you're talking about – these are very odd questions," she said.
But an hour later, she called The News back and acknowledged that Lisa and Elizabeth Albanese are, in fact, one and the same. But she believes that she should not be judged for her past.
"I did have some problems when I was a kid in Virginia," she said. "I got myself into some trouble. I did the things I needed to do – I paid my fines."
"I told the newsroom, 'I don't believe anything she says unless I've seen it with my own eyes,' " said John Horan Jr., her former editor at a small newspaper in northern Virginia. " 'Check everything out, because she has a very active imagination.' "

She had the perfect background to be a star liberal lying mediot whore/criminal posing as a reporter.
They better be careful if they start digging into the backgrounds of all newsies. No telling what would turn up.
Not to worry, we have found the perfect replacement for this lying pos. The replacement even has a great name for lying pseudo reporter, Brandi.:

ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) — A candidate for Southern Oregon University student body president has admitted she was lying when she claimed she had a cousin who was killed in the Virginia Tech shootings.
Brandi Freeman spoke at a candlelight vigil held by students at the university campus in Ashland last night.
With tears streaming down her face, she had claimed she had lost her cousin in the shootings that left 33 dead at Virginia Tech.
By today, Freeman admitted to making up the story to appeal to voters for the student body election next week. She also said she suffers from bipolar disorder.
Freeman is a dean’s list student and a member of the student senate. But she said she’ll likely drop out of the student body elections because of her actions.
Is she related to liberal lying mediot Dan Rather ?
She’ll go far in journalism.
Heh good one-——”star liberal lying mediot whore/criminal posing as a reporter.”
I’m surprised this broad didn’t go postal on them. Wow.
Thanks for the ping; LOL!; Great FReeper comments bump!
Sounds a lot like Common Sense to me.
The funniest part of this whole ridiculous story is the Dallas Morning News reporting it. It has an agenda-driven newsroom second to none. I am stunned, just stunned, that the DMN isn’t defending her right to make up tales.
Sounds like any other liberal to me!
"It's incredible," said the Press Club of Dallas Foundation's president, Rand LaVonn, when told of The News' findings. "I'm stunned."
Where's your beeber when you need it!
This makes me crazy! There were thirty-two murdered students and professors, and one evil and twisted murderer. Why do they lump them all together as if it was some unavoidable accident?
“history of spinning lies. She also has a record of mental illness and delusional behavior.”
Hey, hey.
Those are requirements.
BTW, the Dallas Press Club isn't a bunch of leftists. It's reporters (some conservative Texans), PR people, and all kinds of people who work in media-related jobs. We put on fundraising shows and events to raise money for worthy college students. In fact, I even helped write the script for that fundraiser that never got produced, which was pretty frustrating, considering all the work I did for nothing.
