And I certainly do not believe that the J-S is an independent newsgathering entity from the group that brings Sykes/Wagner hate every day.<br /><br /> Too bad, because if you had more Craig Gilbert-style analysis, it'd probably be worth buying. But facts and education isn't the J-S's m-o right now.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-3955755892384918752011-11-28T11:43:29.780-06:002011-11-28T11:43:29.780-06:00The net of your post is fundamentally correct.
F...The net of your post is fundamentally correct. <br /><br />FWIW, Sykes works for Journal Broadcast Group, a subsidiary of Journal Communications under Steve Smith (Journal Communications' President, CEO, and Chairman). Betsy Brenner (JS Publisher) and Marty Kaiser (JS Editor) have no control over Sykes. <br /><br />IMHO, Steve uses Journal Broadcast Group (Sykes and TMJ4) to bash/ignore the JS. That degrades share holder value even more, but it drags the JS even deeper into wingnut land. IMHO, the ONLY subsidiary of Journal Communications that's doing any creditable reporting is the JS. FWIW, afaik, most of the best reporting in the JS is from reporters who belong to a union: McGinn, Kissinger, Umhoefer, Bice, ...... They have no control over the headlines under which their bylines appear.Boo Radleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475141925214640314noreply@blogger.com
