We all need it &amp; if you&#39;re never wrong, can you ever be right?Pete Boggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948800585492289789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-71052066800869828032013-09-29T08:38:56.299-05:002013-09-29T08:38:56.299-05:00You mentioned on your Blog the Guardian&#39;s Article on Seymour Hersh concerning the state of American Journalism. http://www.theguardian.com/media/media-blog/2013/sep/27/seymour-hersh-obama-nsa-american-media. <br />============================<br /><br />His critique of American Journalism rings true here too. <br />==========================<br /> &quot;It&#39;s a packaged journalism, so you pick a target like – I don&#39;t mean to diminish because anyone who does it works hard – but are railway crossings safe and stuff like that, that&#39;s a serious issue but there are other issues too. <br />===============================<br /><br />I never thought much of the Pulliam Press ownership either. They always seemed to have glowing, fluff pieces on Goldsmith-Press release journalism. The Star today has just boiled, purified and distilled their unquestioning obedience to Corporatism and Crony-Capitalistism and their front men and woman in elected office. <br /><br />The Star attempts to diminish Mahern and Scales, by labeling them as &quot;rogues&quot; is a part of the process. If you cannot refute the facts vilify the messengers.Floggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383015097067413086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-60689418813661195712013-09-28T16:23:49.305-05:002013-09-28T16:23:49.305-05:00Does anyone read the Star?<br /><br />Nobody would mind or notice if they folded the paper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-37753800339553320282013-09-28T14:12:19.101-05:002013-09-28T14:12:19.101-05:00Christine Scales is the one councilor who speaks for the constituency. She is not about <i>&quot;pay-to-play&quot;</i>. It&#39;s called leadership! She is doing the right things for the right reasons.<br /><br />I wish she would run for mayor.CircleCityScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691157547732269477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-23785195704058807512013-09-28T13:58:15.948-05:002013-09-28T13:58:15.948-05:00Ah yes, it should be noted that when covering City Hall for the Gannett Star, Jon Murray is an impassioned insider.Marycatherine Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674049191412285346noreply@blogger.com
