Congressman takes credit for Rocky Mountain News closing

Hopefully the citizen journalist. Ideally, if it gets posted on something like CNN's "iReports" or a "Reader Comments" board, the organization will also get hammered.

I am waiting, with increasing longing every day, for this to happen. I think some pretty effective cases could be mounted if anyone actually pushed it. Internet law is nebulous, but that's only because precedents don't exist yet. Time to make some.

 

I totally agree. Time for the rubber to meet the road on some of these people who aren't trained journalists but think it's no problem to do our jobs. Btw, was just in a meeting with our publisher who says we're about to get a lot more "aggressive" about people pirating our content and slapping it up on their Web sites without credit. Yeah! Kick some ass.

 

And Charles Schumer can be blamed for the collapse of a bank or two last year, with his publicizing letters he sent saying "This bank may collapse!" thus leading to said collapse.

Our politicians have cost a lot of people jobs. This doesn't surprise me.

 

Rush may be a voice but he's no leader. As posted earlier, Rush was vehemently anti-McCain for a long time.
And — as some libs are now just finding out — many key and esteemed conservatives were no fans of W for a variety of things, most notably the invasion of Iraq and the escalating spending in the budget.
But back to our subject at hand — I hope dear Congressman Polis, while standing on a street corner with his back turned, gets a bundle of newspapers dropped on his dome by a passing circulation truck. Guess I'm lucky — the Congressman where I work is accessible but wrong 80 percent of the time. The Congressman where I live is even more accessible and a damn good guy.

 

This blowhard isn't worth my time.

Anyone tried these e-mails?

 

Take the word "newspaper" or "Rocky Mountain News" out of his statement and add "GM" and this guy would be getting death threats.

 

Polis actually is part of a CNN.com feature that runs weekly (I think) in which he and another freshman congressman (a republican from Utah) basically do a video diary of their first year in D.C. So he's milking the traditional media at CNN with one hand and then jerking off the traditional media with the other. Can't have it both ways, dude.

Ahem ... fuckabuncha Polis.

 

I can honestly see Ms. Lovely and talented shilling for this clown one day

 

You haven't been paying attention for the past month, have you?
He's about to run the current RNC chairman out of the party on a rail.

 

There has been a sea change.
