Kang, not from the Simpsons...but a Simpson fan maybe? Thinks people enjoy reading this blog because they think I'm wacked....I published his comment below.
Odd...The Danville Register & Bee feeds off of tragically killed sons, daughters too, almost weekly...front page stuff. They even published their "own" tragically killed son of the Media General COO and gave it far more than the typical 15 inches. Why? Sells papers. They don't have a problem with milking the death of one their own's sons or the tragedy of other Danvillians but ($$$$ maker was it?) they don't want anyone else to say anything about it. But wait! A minister reads it and thinks maybe it's a curse because of a management team that seems to think infidelity, homosexuality and abusing/humilating women is funny.
Kang. You MUST be from the R&B. Hm....
What's wacked? A newspaper that thinks a male reporter filming the breasts of local businesswomen without their consent or knowledge....then showing it around the news room to management and laughing about it....or the people who object to it??
Have you seen the parachute video yet? Wow. What do you think? Funny as women being humiliated? Funny as people's lives being ruined? Funny as a drunk sports editor that can do no wrong - except for the 13 chargable offenses...3 DUI's, evading police, missing a DUI court case in Danville to attend another DUI case in NC the same day. Busy man.
Funny as families being devastated by layoffs they weren't warned about and being booted right before Christmas even? Of course not....but what's the difference between someone running that video of a parachutist splatting and The Danville Register & Bee running a picture of someone splatting? Hmmmm....Every time those sirens go off and the police scanner fires up Charles is almost hysterical with excitement - squealing like a little tea kettle - telling Darren someone's got to go get a picture of the fire, or the wreck - but ONLY if it involves tragedy, death or serious injury. Did you know that Danville? You have to be maimed or killed - not just in a wreck to be in the newspaper. Only real gore sells.
Did you ever think about how the family feels when reporters are out there taking photos of bodies that the paper will never use but that the newsroom will laugh over ...like they did the videos of the women Mac McLean filmed? Who's wacked? I'm not the one who chases every fire truck and ambulance to get the story on someone ELSES tragically killed son...different when it's someone you know - or whose father you knew eh?
Think of that next time you pass by a newspaper stand and there's a fire or wreck on the front page. You're making money off of other people's tragedies and don't think a second thing about it. Maybe NOW you know how it feels...no wait...you'll understand better once I find the video...because it WILL be posted. YouTube.com, Google or Faces of Death....
Why? Because I haven't heard an apology. The victims haven't heard an apology and all those involved in the humiliation of years of Register & Bee abuse - Those employees haven't heard an apology.
I don't know what it will take to get through your thick head...what the newspaper did and does do is not right. So don't get on your high horse here about Reid's "tragically killed son." He's no more tragic or special than anyone else whose crushed car or remains or news of it ends up on the front page of The Danville Register & Bee....
Who's really wacked? Me for telling the world that Media General is racist and sexist? Nah....Gotta be the paper man...gotta be the paper...responses are 97 to 3 in favor of the blog...the 3 are all Register & Bee employees...
