Chuck Olsen and Bob Collins go at it in the comments big time. To be honest, I didn’t even bother reading it all though.
UPDATE: It’s basically about journalistic standards and the two of them disagreeing on what’s right and what’s wrong as well as what’s a story and what’s not… as well as the responsibility of how issues are presented. Bob, per usual, comes off as a prickly son-of-a-bitch and Chuck comes off as a free spirited, neener-neener know-it-all. I kind of love it. Quote:
1 month agoLike I said, what you’ve stated in the comment above could easily — easily — be the same mantra the Sinclair Group invoked in 2004.
I just don’t see the public service in a “I’m not sayin’ I’m just sayin’ form of storytelling.
As near as I can tell, basically what you did was an interview with someone who said something that resonated with your political views, you had this vehicle which has positioned itself as the new journalism, so you packaged it up, shoved it out there and then said the rules of journalism — i.e. ethics — don’t apply to you.
How does that not make you a souped-up, Democratic version of Minnesota Democrats Exposed?
