Hello everyone, I usually monitor the enemy at duh and now they have a thread where they found a website that is supposed to be the mother load. They also specifically didn't want us to see it. I'm not going to post the thread that I found this on, why give them more hits. Here's the site:

http://www.poynter.org

It's supposed to be media posting private messages to each other (according to duh).

Note to moderator. If this post violates fr guidelines please pull it. I posted it because they were so worried about it getting into our hands heh heh.

I saw that last night, took me 15 minutes to find it and bookmark it :)

They crack me up. Their mentality is such that they'd confess to the perfect crime so people would see how good they were.

I think you meant "Mother Lode."

[Lx]

In Mr Burns voice, Excellent! Next time, I'll use the search function, duh!!!

I don't know why they think it's such a motherload, I've
always thought they (the media) thought that way.

[Illbay]

Aren't you a bit obsessed?

[Lx]

You correct my spelling and I'm obsessed?

BTW, your spelling is the correct way.

[ewing]

No wonder our newspapers are so bad..

[Illbay]

I mean, how are the DU folk supposed to keep you from finding this site?

And fwiw, I saw nothing there that might be in the slightest considered "red meat."

[Lx]

Exactly, to me, this is exactly how I expect them to talk.
I guess they buy the "Media is conservative" line.

[clintonh8r]

Wow, a circle jerk for "journalists." I'm surprised it's not actually linked to DUmbasses.

[paul51]

Actually, 'load' is more appropriate

[angry elephant]

No, in the case of DUH, load is the proper spelling, as in load in their pants.

Poynter (whatever) runs the St Petersburg Times. It is referred to locally as the Palm Tree Pravda!

[dawn53]

Poynter is dead, but there is an institute for media studies in St. Petersburg, called the Poynter Institute. It's affiliated with the University of South Florida, Bayboro campus ( the campus in St. Pete).
Here's a couple of links:
