Disgruntled Star Editor Takes Constructive Revenge

…union chief Maureen Dawson explained that “Journalism is a collaborative effort, the product of a team of reporters, photographers and editors working in concert to produce the kind of activist agenda that has served Star readers and our community so well for so long…To remove a critical element of that work is to shortchange everyone who depends on it.”

Activist agenda? I think it is interesting that the Star‘s readers point to Fox and claim it isn’t really news.

I thought journalism was “the occupation of reporting, writing, editing, photographing, or broadcasting news or of conducting any news organization as a business.” I guess the Star goes for the third definition instead.

writing that reflects superficial thought and research, a popular slant, and hurried composition, conceived of as exemplifying topical newspaper or popular magazine writing as distinguished from scholarly writing: He calls himself a historian, but his books are mere journalism.

He TEACHES Journalism?

You’d think a self-proclaimed expert with decades of experience would have picked an actual anonymous blogger rather than myself to use as an example of anonymous blogging from the right. My name is on every piece of text I write, including when I comment. Or do I really have to put a profile page up and talk about myself in the third person?

John, a simple Google search would tell you who I am. Maybe get one of your pupils to show you how to use a search engine. I’d email you but I guess you’re still trying to get sympatico to come to your house to hook up your email for you.

Kate had a few comments of her own. Thanks for pointing it out Kate, I never would have seen that the doctor wrote about me. For some reason, I never look at his site. Am I allowed to call him a doctor if he isn’t actually a doctor?
