[Rhodes22-list] Captain Rummy - 357 (Ed's paranoia)

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Ed,
I don't have the time nor the energy right now to debate each one of your  
points. You do not have a clue as to how newspapers are put together. Any  
spelling and grammatical errors can be either the fault of the computer (spell  and 
grammar checkers) or the bonehead typing the article into the computer.  
Newspapers are a daily item and the art that goes into putting them together day  
after day is amazing. Go take a tour of a modern paper sometime. Space or time 
 restraints often dictate what newsworthy items make the paper or are shit  
canned. Usually a senior editor or news director has final say on what is  
published. 
Newspaper circulation is down for a number of reasons. Number one being the  
availability of news on the  internet and the other the high cost of a  single 
paper. Your reasoning that papers are read less because of content is  
absurd. Try switching over to decafe and take your meds as prescribed. You are  the 
most paranoid person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Why don't you  
spend more time on worthwhile projects: such as real sailing, not just talking  
about it on this list. I will bring the rum and coke.You bring the ice and  
glasses.  And, you will drink it. Come pick me up at my dock or I will ride  
the SeaDoo over to Big Water Marina.
And since you didn't answer the question about the gun under the pillow, we  
can only assume that you do.
 
Rummy

Captain Rummy said, "In spite of what your little paranoid  schizophrenic
brain tells you, the  MSM 
does not concoct  stories."  You are probably partitially right. 
Collectively they  apparently do not the ability to 'concoct stories'.  They
just repeat  the talking points sent out daily from Dean's and  Obama's
offices.

Capt. Rummy  said, "So people will depend on  them for the news and either
buy and read their newspaper or watch their  news on the TV."  Haven't you
heard about the falling ratings of  network news broadcast?  After your
Apostle Rather concocted his  stories, CBS's ratings have dwindled.  Haven't
you ever asked  why?  Since Walter left CBS, when was the last time CBS
reported a  sailing event?

Haven't you heard about newspapers falling  circulations?  Many plain and
good Americas get tired of reading  dribble.  Daily my wife who likes to read
the Greenville News points  out grammer and spelling errors.  Their articles
either are not  reviewed by editors or the editors that they have are not
smart enough to  catch spelling and grammer errors.

You said, "Most of them are very  honest and try to do as good a job as
possible."  If they [the  reporters] do not know how to spell ordinary
English nor use correct  grammer, how good a job are they really doing?

So the Obama campaign  sent 30 or more lawyers and investigators to Alaska to
get the dirt on  Palin and destroy her.  You know, in Chicago Daily style. 
Understand  they were not sent to demonstrate her sucesses.

I personally was  involved in a news worthy event which was only covered by
the Asheville TV  station and newspaper.  Where was the reporting by the
Greenville News  about a major search and rescue operation 70 miles north of
my house.   Did you see any reporting last Sunday and Monday about Caruso,
North  Carolina and the National Forest Service about the search for a
missing  person just north of the Blue Ridge Parkway near Sam Knob  Creek?

What  the local papers do today is just copy the Associated Press articles
and  print them as news.  Did you even notice how the AP did not  cooperate
with the Secret Service?  

You are right, "Without  credibility, they have nothing to sell."  So they
create socialist  goop to claim as news.  Why is that the New York Times has
circulation  problems.  Because Americans are tired of sticky goop and  look
elseware for what is really happening in the Country and  World.

I am sure each day real news is not reported, see above about  event 60 miles
north of your house.  And that is wigglely roads miles  not as crow flies.
