I note that they haven't even hired a full time replacement for Randy Craft, who is retired lo these many months. <br /><br />Emily Opilo does outstanding work but she's just one person. With the Morning Call the risk is alwata that they'll assign you to the Outer Mongolia desk if you do too well at biting the hand that feeds you. I hope that never happens to Emily.

I posted something along the lines of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our Ed" on the Yahoo group page that addressed Allentown issues.The coverage was that glowing. A retired reporter who I had been friends with through out several civic endeavors publicly suggested I needed medication because I dared not share in their devotion to Ed. Another example was a reporter from 69NEWS(still there) who answered my complaint about something Ed was doing with"Ed Pawlowski says you are a partisan so why should I listen to you". That was a wake up call, all Ed had to do was follow in Roy's footsteps and label critics who happened to be Republicans as partisans and the media would immediately stop listening. They did and still do. I could go on. <br /><br />Long story short Mike, such loyalties and/or allegiances are never appropriate for anyone in the media. That said, no one but us seems to understand that anymore. Scott Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455506547371305057noreply@blogger.com
