Rachel Quits Public Radio

First CBS and now WHYY-FM. Will it never end?

Rachel Buchman, a 25-year-old ace reporter who has been with the public radio facility for about three years, has quit her job.

The move came after she "lost her temper" and left a voice-mail message to Laptoplobbyist.com, a conservative Internet site.

Her message said, "Hi, my name is Rachel, and my telephone number is... I wanted to tell you that you're evil, horrible people. You're awful people. You represent horrible ideas. God hates you and he wants to kill your children. You should all burn in hell. Bye."

Chris Carmouche, Laptoplobbyist executive director who had never heard of Ms. Buchman, discovered her WHYY (90.9) connection when he returned her call. During their conversation, he questioned her journalistic objectivity.

Then Carmouche e-mailed his 150,000 members a transcript of the message and a link to an audio clip of it. He said he did that "to put some perspective on the term 'media bias.'"

Ms. Buchman resigned or turned in her press card or whatever those public radio folks do and offered apologies "to anyone who I may have personally offended" for what she called a "mistake."

We all make mistakes, Ms. Buchman.

Winston Churchill once said, "any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brain."

You have a long five years to cultivate your gray matter.

I will share an embarrassing secret with you. I once voted for Jimmy Carter.

Another left-wing liberal hits the dust.......

Trained since birth that the only way for a real woman to suceed in life is to be a tightassed advocate, she did as she was trained.

She will now be more agressive and a menace to the society she hates. Only the implementation of Utopia will provide her salvation.

Hmm. Only off by two letters. But it's pronounced almost the same way.

[CORedneck]

Sounds like corporate politics. I wonder how brown her nose was ? There was a guy who use to work in the program I am on and what I remembered, he was a 24 year old high school kid. Very immature, etc. I notice that he is moving up the food chain very quickly where he moved to. I am Senior level and so is he. He will probably make Staff long before I will. I don't play politics and don't kiss @$$. I refuse to lose dignity.

By being extremely ambitious, kissing up, and possibly bedding the right higher-ups.

I see it all the time: A dead-level, competent, smart, 45 year old stuck in the trenches.

A 25 year old arrogant jerk too stupid to wipe his (or her) own butt promoted way up the ladder in a hurry.

Some people only have one skill, and ultimately its almost the only skill you need: self-promotion.

[Petronski]

Good gravy. Is that really her? LOL. Her voice is as childish as her post. And she worked in radio?


Oh, non-competitive, government-subsidized radio. I get it.

[Grampa Dave]

I think she needs a man. I already pity him.

Rachael doesn't like real men, and real men don't care for Rachael and her lesbo rat pack.

I'm deeply saddened ...

[Petronski]

Hey, that's right. "Fresh Air" comes from WHYY in Philly too, don't it?

[Grampa Dave]

"How does someone barely out of diapers get to be an ace reporter?"

Answer, when they are a hate filled GIM, Gay Infected Mediot who writes a flow of articles pushing the gay agenda and condemning Christians, GW and Republicans.

The search below shows that Rachael was an ace in pushing the gay agenda.

she pops her P's

[hattend]

Yikes! That's a picture of a 25 year old? The hate and self-loathing is really aging her beyond her years.

[Grampa Dave]

Please see my reply # 48 on this thread for the type of stories this A** Reporter has written.

[Petronski]

Well, that was certainly an education. Thanks (I think).

[EdReform]

GIM Bump!

Have you noticed whenever a liberal gets caught in a lie, bad journalism or worse, it is always a mistake?

I sent an email to Richard Halicks (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) who jumped on a false story about Dow Chemical and the Bhopal, India disaster.

His response:

Did it occur to you that there are people on the other end of your email who actually made this mistake and who feel absolutely dreadful about it?

You're right. I should have double-checked and didn't and got hammered because of it. But I'm not a fool. I'm a person who cares about his job and who occasionally makes mistakes.

Please permit me to apologize personally to you for this error.

Thank you.

Richard Halicks
Editor, Sunday @issue, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Please note: This guy is the Editor, not a cub reporter.

[Grampa Dave]

What a jerk this arrogant editor is.

[Grampa Dave]

Yep, that is what a few years of shrieking your hatred 24/7 can make some of these liberals look like.

[Grampa Dave]

Another GIM gets exposed and becomes a sad jobless statistic.

It's not my station, although I do listen to 90.1 FM. :-)

This is the important part:

This just in from one of my favorite lawyers. Robert B. Surrick, who is the executive director of Politically Active Physicians Association, met recently with other movers and shakers to talk about "Rampant Medical Malpractice Lawsuits." Surrick said he requested the meeting to investigate the impact of doctors of Act 13, which became effective May 22, 2002. Under Act 13, a doctor, when sued for malpractice, is required to notify the Medical Board of the lawsuit. The Medical Board is required to conduct an investigation. Surrick said the Medical Board has received some 5,600 reports of doctors having been sued since the passage of the bill. In other words, 5,600 doctors have been sued for medical malpractice in 30 months. That is about one out of every five doctors practicing in Pennsylvania. To date, out of about 3,600 investigations only four resulted in dismissal. There are still 2,000 investigations working. Surrick said, "the trial lawyers claim that medical malpractice is rampant in Pennsylvania. It would seem that the only thing rampant in Pennsylvania is frivolous lawsuits against doctors resulting in skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance premiums and doctors leaving the state." He said citizens are dying as high-risk specialists such as neurosurgeons leave. Chester County with a population 453,000 and five hospitals, no longer has a full-time neurosurgeon.
