I'm so tired of journalists who have no qualms about publishing a story that damages their country or community, happy to play fast and loose with the facts, yet if the subject is "one of their own" they're racked with some kind of moral dilemma, as if they deserve some sort of special acknowledgement or consideration.
These bozo editors seem to have no moral dilemma ruining OTHER PEOPLE’s lives, though
Remember a dozen or so years ago when Russell Byers was murdered? The great wailing and gnashing of teeth showed, to me, just how out of touch many reporters (and editors) are. Byers was a man of some acclaim, but no more than, say, a television reporter. Yet the media (mainly print) devoted as much attention to this as if The Pope Himself was killed.
Pretending that they don't know how to approach a story like this insults my intelligence.
We know it's true, he might need to hear it.
Politely, of course. Then it might sink in.
Yeah, they didn’t seem to have a problem with the nature of the evidence against Herman Cain, did they? They kept pounding.
It is boggling my mind the influential people that are involved in this stuff.
I've never thought of myself as naive but now you just don't know.
Folks, in case anyone noticed or was confused, I put the “end excerpt” statement ABOVE the last paragraph accidentally. Just don’t want to appear to take credit for something I didn’t write... especially when it’s expressing something that stupid.
I’ve got one question: What did the paper’s employees know and when did they know it?
“As detailed by the Inquirer’s Nancy Phillips, four people have accused Conlin...”
#####
Male people or female “people”?
Seems to me an essential detail for any news story.
If he threw a bucket of manure on their desks, would they know how to confront him about it ? Or would they just thank him ?
Why did it take decades to out this pervert?
Did his position with the media aid in the cover up?
When the sandusky story broke, every one that ever drove through State College was axed to take a lie detector test or resign or commit suicide.
When will this editor resign?
I'm sickened by the double standard ... journalists need to take a long hard look at themselves if they want their profession to survive.
He's a weather guesser on the local CBS channel. His openly gay agenda frosts me and came to a head a few weeks ago, when he hosted a televised Christmas fundraiser for needy children.
All this is well and good [fund raising] on the surface, but this maroon comes out in one of the segments dressed in drag and behaves like a complete idiot in front of a live audience of strangers and children and thinks it is perfectly okay, to dress like woman, jump around stage like some sort of a baboon. I snapped and wrote to him, the station prez and his producer personally. Haney wrote back and told me *I* was the one who needed help. I countered with the fact that his gay lifestyle he has chosen, that he continuously shoves down the viewers throat is wrong on so many levels, too numerous to count. [Like he doesn't know this]
Yet the station *allows* this, others condone it by silence, and that's why the Sandusky's of the world have such a foot hold. I'm still a lone voice, sending off letters to the advertisers but will continue to do what I can.
Just make believe he is the following, Republican, conservative black or a Catholic priest and you should do fine
