The Telegraph’s one swift strike.

The people of middle Georgia have to wonder what is going on at McClatchy Newspaper’s The Telegraph. The driving forces at The Telegraph are as listed on the masthead and they are: President and Publisher George McCanless: Executive Editor Sherrie Marshall: Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson. For good or evil these are the people that are responsible for the propaganda they put out.

 After years of following The Telegraph dating back to the early 1990’s we have reached the conclusion that the integrity of these people, to us, is questionable if it even exist. As with David Duke, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Dan Rather and others there seems to be a deficit in morals and integrity, We think this is shared by the entire group. We have endeavored to document and cite the reasons for our conclusions and you will find them posted on this blog. If anyone can show us anything we have posted which is factual wrong we will gladly correct it and apologize to all concerned.

The bigotry of The Telegraph is well known and dates back to at least January of 2001 when it was documented by the late Ron Woodgeard who at that time was the Editorial Page Editor of The Telegraph. We can say with confidence it did not start with the now President and Publisher George McCanless.

Anyone who is from the middle Georgia area or has followed this blog knows there was another individual on the masthead of The Telegraph. He was listed as “Visiting Member Kenny Burgamy.”

Some time back the people of Bibb County which is located in middle Georgia began to open their eyes and realize that perhaps they were being taken for a ride by none other than the Bibb County Board of Education and their new school superintendent and questions began to pop up.  To a large degree Bill Knowles of wearepolitics.com has been one of the driving forces behind the quest for answers to everything.

It became evident that The Telegraph’s Editorial Page Editor Charles Richardson was in bed with the Bibb County School Superintendent. When this was exposed The Telegraph’s so-called President and Publisher George McCanless rushed to print with an editorial excusing Richardson’s actions. The editorial “In the pocket” appeared in The Telegraph on March 4, 2012. It was full of pretentious outrageous indignation.

McCanless talks about integrity at The Telegraph and that is like talking about integrity at the White House, in our opinion it does not exist in either place.  He goes on to tell us that: “There have been insinuations that Dallemand has Charles ‘in his back pocket.’”  

It just so happens Richardson defense, sometimes heated defense, of Dallemand and his “Macon Miracle” is the perfect picture of a paid advocate. It might be noted that there are videos out there of Richardson in action. If McCanless would like a copy we can probably put our hands on one and would be glad to provide it to him.  

President and Publisher George McCanless continues with: “To think you could ever have Charles in your pocket, much less for the price of a lousy lunch, is ludicrous….” McCanless is exactly right about this and on 04/21/2012 Bill Knowles of wearepolitics.com clearly demonstrates this. Knowles in his “What The Bibb BOE Isn’t Telling You” proves the point! In the next to the last paragraph from the bottom of the article we are told about the: “…over 70,000 reasons to think so….”

McCanless has told us in his: “In the pocket” that “We have a code of Business Conduct and Business Ethics that all of our employees have to sign.” He then goes on with “As I always counsel anyone who asks, when you have a situation that could be a news story, the worst thing you can do is try to avoid it.” 

This is comical! In spite of his advice in his  editorial “In the pocket” in the case of the “over 70,000 reasons” we get a blatant silence. Oh well, so much for his “code of Business Conduct and Business Ethics” and his advice about “…the worst thing you can do is try to avoid it.”

We have to ask why this applied to the “lousy lunch” and does not apply to the “over 70,000 reasons”. Perhaps it is because in this part of the country the “over 70,000 reasons” is enough for a little “spread around money” to keep quite!

Please, we do not want anyone to jump to conclusions, we are not implying anything. However we must note that there is as much evidence for this as there was for the hatchet job and character assassination The Telegraph and the rest of the media did on the Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain.

 Oh well back to the driving forces behind The Telegraph and Bibb County Georgia. As pointed out above after a relationship which lasted for years all of a sudden it evaporates. Boom, it is gone with a one-sided explanation from The Telegraph and “WGXA General Manager Becky Swan.” Of course this is nothing new, but the separation without as much as a good-by kiss gives the appearance of a bad divorce.

If we go back and look we can see where The Telegraph’s Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson reminds Visiting Member Kenny Burgamy that he does not have a contract. We have to ask, is this a warning, was it a prelude to what was coming?

As Bill Knowles and wearepolitics.com came on the scene and things began to heat up. Burgamy would read from the post on the web site about Dallemand and the Bibb County Board of Education which forced The Telegraph Editorial Page Editor to defend Dallemand. However when Burgamy had the audacity to point out and read on the air Knowles’ “What The Bibb BOE Isn’t Telling You” we took this as an ominous sign.

Here we can see the comment Burgamy made to Richardson on the air about the “over 70,000 reasons” and we have to ask. Was that the beginning of the end?

As we look at his we can now say: “I can see clearly now”.

Have a nice day.
