  • Well Buckshot, that was an ad campaign. Advertising is not journalism. This blog is meant to create discussion regarding the fundamental reason journalism exists, not how politicians are buying ad space.

  • I don't quite understand all of the sequence of events regarding this matter. But I do know that you are a very careful girl with some great common sense.

    Journalism is like a shark tank. One day you are the tank container and the next you are bait. We always seem to turn on our own when blood has been drawn.

    Figure out what you have learned about this. And go on. Regardless of who said what, always remember that there are loved ones out there needing someone who will keep their standards high regardless of details.

    This probably won't help much. I just wanted to say that Keep writing and trying to make a difference no matter how many doors are closed in your face.
