Who would have ever thought that a reporter would lie? I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked! /s
Another cBS station..Dan Rather wannabees. kctv5@kctv5.com
Is somebody bucking to be the next "60 Minutes" producer?
McGraw's customers, and all the local people quoted in this article need to complain to the TV station and DEMAND that the story be set straight!! Articles refuting the TV piece need to appear on the front page, above the fold of all the newspapers in all the markets in which this tv show aired as well!
they should sue them Corporately - individually and their grandparents for even thinking about spawning
He should retire very comfortably
These alleged journalists need to be blacklisted, and be forced to work as night managers in convenience stores, just to experience actual terror.
The best way to accomplish that is by a large, loud lawsuit by the victim of their libel.
Hey, these TV folks are just taking their cue from "their heros"---Mary Mapes and Dan Rather--"making up" the news rather than reporting it.
Agree. Reporters who manufacture "news" like this are a blight on society. Of course, this is exactly what the networks are looking for so his career will probably take off.
Agreed, everyone (local stations) think they are 60 Minutes.
bump
agreed. sadly, i think this wasn't even picked up by the kansas city star. the tonganoxie mirror is just a small, local paper. tonganoxie is, i believe, about 30 miles outside the kansas city metro area.
Wrong!You(not you kid in kc) bought 500 pounds of 20-10-10.You only bought 100 pounds of nitrogen.
500lbs x .20 = 100lbs of actual N.If spreading this on a 44,000sq ft(1 acre) lot,you would be spreading 2.27 lbs per 1000 sq ft.Hardly unheard of.(100 total lbs of N / 44)
A reporter I knew back in Des Moines made her bone fides by following city employees around, covering the incredible story that they loafed a lot, took long lunches, etc. She went to the KC Star and, surprise, surprise, found KCMO city employees loafed, took long lunch hours...
Heck if they followed any employee around they would find everyone loafs once in awhile!
She only knew one story. How to burn someone.
