Nine – I stand corrected.

I normally stay away from political posts on my personal Facebook page and rarely discuss politics with my friends because we likely wouldn’t be friends if we did, but a friend of […]

MM – I agree with your assessment about one source establishing the rules. TBC does use AP, but there aren’t many versions. AP is pretty straight-forward with news stories … just the nuts and bolts. When […]

I’m not part of the editorial board discussions. It looks like John Arthur will address it in his Sunday SoundOff column within the next few weeks.

LLM, no need to be so condescending when all I’ve done is […]

Mach5 – I don’t think it’s fair to judge the entire news outlet for something that happens on one or a few shows. I always advise people to look at the source. Where is the report coming from and who is […]

Catpaw – The news business has changed a lot and how much actual work the anchors do varies from station to station. IMO, Cronkite was respected and trusted because he knew what he was talking about and always […]

Well, first off, I think it’s worth noting that people consider Comedy Central a TV news outlet. Now, I adore Jon Stewart. I think he’s brillant. But he’s not a newsman.

I’m not making a decision just yet. Plus it’s not entirely my decision. I will be talking about it with my bosses, as well as looking at what our other opportunities are. I’ve been out of the office since […]

I’m in awe at how you have let this thread deteriorate.

Here are your choices:
A. BTalks goes away. POSSIBLY re-evaluating rebuilding it in a few months.
B. BTalks stays, but with me permanently banning 4-5 […]

*pounding head on desk*

Also, there are four users who flag a majority of the comments for moderation, and they are the same four people who have the most of their own comments deleted.

Andy – See, you’re pointing fingers and calling names. Believe me when I tell you there is more than one person that would be bounced permanently if that’s the route I go.

That is a big part of the problem … everyone is challenging each other’s intellect and character.

If I feel in my heart a certain way about an issue but don’t have the facts to back it up, does that make me […]
