    I so love it when TV pukes step on their dicks.

    You actually might be able to throw the magic "malice" word on this.

    I would have to see the video, but this has a chance to be pretty bad.

    Speaking of unprofessional behavior...that's a pretty ridiculous claim to throw out unsupported.

    Yeah, Tennessean.com should have left that alone. Not like it's illegal for an attorney to be a source.

    Man, I hate these threads.

    "Those damn TV hacks! They get it first . . . but we print jockeys get it RIGHT!!!!!!!!"

    Yes, just dismiss all TV journalists out of hand, why don't we? "Without US, the godly print jockeys, they would have no news to report!"

    Utter, utter bullcrap.

    How about: This particular TV news outlet is finding itself under fire.

    But that would require some rational thought. Much easier to just condemn all of them.

    Only the thread starter and one poster piled on TV "hacks."

    And in fairness, that one poster did say "pukes"

    Also in fairness, these days, TV stations are typically the last to report anything.

    It usually goes like this
    First -- Newspaper Web site.
    20 minutes later -- Talk radio
    10:25 p.m. -- TV

    I know morons both in TV and print, so I'm always a bit hesitant to throw the TV guys and gals under the bus.

    That being said, I do get a chuckle when the TV folks embarrass themselves.
