...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
We're out of wine. The Orange Bowl already looks like a blow-out. (Shelly's right, USC is a pro team.) And i'm too pissed to even come up with a coherent rant about the Columbia Journalism Review's huge insult of a lie.
Volokh and Wizbang have dissected the truth best on this one. Shit like this makes me so spittin' mad, i could just... uh... spit. Just know that the name Corey Pein is easy to remember and i will be watching his career. Any organization that hires him will immediately stain its own credibility. A fucking hack in training. They'll just adore him at big media.
Time to go smoke and watch some more of 24.
Pein résumé via LGF.
Oh yeah, he's a little dicksucker. Evergreen eh, isn't that where the little bitch who got run over by the bulldozer in Israel went to school?
What's Roger say? "Meet ya in the barn at midnight."

Your blog and others of your ilk actually prove the main points of the CJR article about blogs -- you're more like those spectators at that Pistons/Pacers game/fight: good for tossing garbage from the stands, causing fights and stirring up a lot of publicity, but not actually
contributing anything useful. The CJR piece was actually way too kind to both the incompetent, lazy-ass journalism shown by the mainstream media -- NOT including CBS, which was mostly guilty of gutlessness -- and the primarily ideological, illogical, vengeful, cruel and dumbass nonsense coming from the blog mobs.
I recently posted an addendum of sorts to the CJR piece: http://tinyurl.com/5fo6v
And as far as Joseph M. Newcomer, Ph.D. goes, the CJR piece was way, WAY too kind to him. He was no more than a verbose charlatan whose forgery proof was as bogus as right-wing bloggers believing that they're doing anything more than shooting off their PC's about stuff they have very, VERY little understanding of. I was easily able to dismiss his slapdash "proof" a while back in another Usenet post: http://tinyurl.com/5qyxh
Have a nice read....
You're an idiot, a liar, and a zealot. i've done the five minute experiment myself. i did it because i was skeptical at first. There is no doubt that the documents were forgeries. None of the prevarications in your link are persuasive, and especially not since i have an exact duplicate of one of the memos in my desk drawer right now. Exact duplicate, which i typed with my own hands mind you.
The 11.5 point issue you raise is bs. You must not be familiar enough with word to know that you can set it to 11.5 by double clicking on the drop down for font size. In any case, when i did my experiment, i used the 12 pt default setting. The difference in font size was created by CBS's "original" having been faxed. The fax transmission shrunk it slightly. By increasing the size of the CBS copy by about 5% i got an exact match with my Word document.
You cling to your belief system like its a religion, and against all reason. That's called intellectual dishonesty. Please don't respond to this comment, it was not my intention to re-hash the whole debate. i only wanted to let other visitors know why i laugh at people like you.
Posted by: annika on Jan. 5, 2005Evergreen College in Washington? That place is a liberal's wet dream of a school - i think they do not even grade. A student's grade is self-awarded there, so of course a sense of superiority and elitism is to be expected from someone who attended this questionable institution.
It is the same place St. Rachel Corrie of Pancakes was educated.
The kool-aid's effect is pervasive.
Journalists are very similar to academics - they are observers of people who "do" things in this world. They sit on the sidelines conerned with proving their own relevance in this world.
