    Odd that you think no one notices that you're back with a new handle.

    I don't hate the press anymore than many of you "hate" sports or athletes, yet spend your time covering it/them.

    I love newspapers. Love the news.

    Just think the media should be held to a higher standard. Don't you?

    They fail too often.

    If an athlete can receive criticism for his failings, there's nothing wrong with pointing out when the media fails.

    And, unlike any entity I know, the media is severely lacking in self inspection.

    They hold other companies and industries to higher standards than themselves.

    Guess what, Dave?

    Potential employers run background checks.

    You don't think that's a contributing factor to her one-plus year long stretch of unemployment?

    Be honest.

    It very well could be. We don't know what kind of jobs she's applied for, so we don't know for sure what has or hasn't been run.

    Too bad the employer didn't confirm that for you, or you'd be able to push your "neener neener" thread even further. But since he didn't, we'll never know for sure, now, will we?

    And be honest yourself, YF: That's really your main reason for this thread. :)

    So, no politics allowed, except for sniggering neener-neener gotcha posts sniping about Obama's latest misstep.

    Oh yes, and monotonous whimpering about the lunatic mooslims coming to kill us all.

    OK got it.

    The post was about the media.

    Keep trying.

    So who exactly has the time to dig up dirt on this woman in the first place?

    And do readers really care. She was there to symbolize something millions of people experience, not make an example of herself.
