On Texans, Yankees, and the state of The Fourth Estate

Wednesday's coverage on Fox News of the Gloucester Mass. Teen Pregnancy Cult got me so stirred up that I wrote a e-letter to the Editor of the Gloucester Times.

Note I said Fox's Coverage. The interviewer/host/anchor babe on Fox started by giving the interviewee credit for "breaking the story"--which fact Fox got factually WRONG! No, it was one of the interviewee's colleagues who had broken the story "a month ago". Now it may not have been the young man’s fault, he may have been the sacrificial lamb, or maybe Fox’s Producers screwed up the "get" from the word go, or he stuck his face in where it didn’t belong, but the ACTUALITY of the matter is, he stunk!

He had almost nothing factual to contribute, spent most of his time defending the Day Care program and the Community, and looked like some Community College Journalism Intern!

Fox’s babe’s conduct of the interview was equally non-productive.

Professionally speaking it was a genuinely miserable job by all parties all the way around.

That piszed me off! These folks are making enough money that I feel righteous and justified in demanding some standard of competence in their News Product. I didn’t get it. And I complained to Fox by email immediately.

In obtaining the email address on the Fox News site, however, I ran across a companion piece in which some MD in some supervisory capacity for the Clinic at the Highschool was quoted as advocating the distribution of birth control to the minor children, even over parental objection, as a RESPONSE to these collegial, if not cooperative or collaborative, pregnancies.

That piszed me off even more. Some people ought to be smarter than to talk, or think, that stupid!

That led me to finding the Gloucester Times web site, where I noted "leads" bemoaning the lack of state funding for sex education, and the need for contraception for boys in apparent response to the Gang Bang Crisis.

That was the last straw. I fired off a viciously vitriolic letter to every editor the GT listed under "contact us." I will admit straight up I was extremely belligerent, offensive, and took no prisoners.

I was not in the mood to; because I believe it is THEIR job to get ME the FACTS, it is THEIR raison d’etre, Their PRODUCT, and as a consumer I have a legitimate and reasonable right to some kind of quality in that product. I didn’t get it and I was MAD! Nobody likes being treated like an easily misled and satisfied moron.

Let me confess to some of the more egregious slams.

I used the "Community College Intern" crack, went on to "bunch of gutless wonders," then I got nasty:

"Where were you? Where are the Editors? The Managers? The owners? Where is the guy who broke the story? So now I know that "Journalists" at GT are not only Unabashedly, Uncaringly, Willfully, Ignorant of all the IMPORTANT FACTS in the story, they are basically absolutely inarticulate when it comes to presenting the little information they HAVE managed to gather.

Facts like: oh, I don't know, like maybe the 5 w's? WHO are the moronic sluts? WHO are the CRIMINAL Fathers? WHAT is being done to identify and ARREST them? WHO is going to PAY for these little yankee bastids? HOW did they get inseminated? WHEN and WHERE did it happen? WHY so many? 17? NOT exactly a click, or even a gang, more like a MOB! When and where was the pact made? WHAT were they thinking? WHAT do the other girls in school think? Boys? WHERE were the parents? WHO are the parents? WHAT are the parents going to do about this? WHERE were the Teachers administrators etc? What are THEY going to do?

WHEN are you going to paste the names, faces, and addresses of these demohos ALL over the media? AND their parents! WHY haven't you already DONE so? WHERE do these morons go to Church? Where were THEY? Where was your whole damn moronic yankee Kennedy SUCKING, O'bama Voting COMMUNITY!!!?

And most importantly HOW did this HAPPEN! WHY did it happen? WHAT was everybody THINKING, you morons?!"

See what I mean? But I wasn’t finished, I mentioned Dr.Stupido’s comments about birth control over parental objection and pointed out that this is his response to INTENTIONAL PREGNANCIES (like birth control is going to help THAT?!) And commented:

"This is not locking the barn door after the horse has gotten out, this is UNLOCKING the PIG PEN IN RESPONSE to the Horse's exit!"

"And you idiots are going to elect the next POTUS!"

I went on to comment on their web site leads, criticizing their response to "this little 21st Century Roman Orgy or Sodom and Gomorrah Glee Glub" as:

"Ah, that Great Journalistic Overiding Principle: Agenda trumps Truth and puts Reality in the Shade."

I concluded:

"Congratulations on becoming the POSTER CITY for BlueState Kennedy/Hussein Commiqueer Politics!

Great Job Guys!

the big mick"

Not exactly a reasonable sounding (though absolutely reasoned, reasonable  and cogent) critique of their efforts, was it?

But THEN, in defiance of all expectation, I get a reply from the Boss Editor, Ray.

I won’t print his private email to me, I don't have his permission, but I can summarize it. He advised me that he had gotten my message and considered it truly pathetic. He considered (down South we’d have said "reckoned") it was helpful to know there were folks out there who thought like I did.

However he considered my questions, and I will quote him here, "[weren’t} worth dignifying with answers."

An Editor of a NEWSpaper and he considers Who, What, When, Where, Why and How Questions unworthy of answering!

He did advise me, however, that he saved my email and would retain the IP address for future reference.

For what? If he considered it a customer complaint, his response was lousy. If he considered it harassment he’s too thin skinned for an Editor worth his salt.

Is it just my guilty conscience for allowing my legitimate dissatisfaction to grow into an anger that generated meanness, or am I correct in detecting a threat of some kind here, if only a "I’m gonna block you sucka!"

Read on to see my TWO responses to Ray’s response.
