If they want to serve special interest and political masters
let them be up front with what they are doing and quit masquerading as a
newspaper. As we consider the fact that The Telegraph is moving
in at Mercer University there are some things we should look
at. We will point, you look, if you so desire and make up your own mind.
We have to wonder was this because The Telegraph could not make it without
the grant money?
The Knight Foundation has what we think are some dubious
connections. See George Soros: Media Mogul. If
this is the type of individuals Mercer President William D. Underwood wants to bed down with that is his privilege. It
sure as hell indicates to us his interest might be more in the dollar, grant
money, than it is in honesty, integrity, and morality for the journalism
students.
All of this is shameless when you consider The Telegraph has
moved in at Mercer University to help teach the art of the “lousy
lunch” and how to “pedaling influence for employment.” This can be taught by the expert in the
subject The Telegraph’s Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson.
The Telegraph Executive Editor Sherrie Marshall can lead the
curriculum on how to do the “hatchet job” and “character assassination”. She
can point to and proudly demonstrate how she did this with The
Telegraph's "hi-tech" lynching of Herman Cain!
Then The Telegraph’s President and Publisher George
McCanless can step in and demonstrate how to execute a cover up when your mouth
piece and Executive Page Editor gets caught “red handed” violating the Corporate
“Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics”.
There are some people who feel that McCanless sort of
botched this cover-up. It looks like he panicked when he published his “In
the pocket”. McCanless pointed
out Charles E. Richardson knew what he was doing as “…all of our employees have
to sign” the “…Code of Business Conduct and business Ethics.” So we know a little deceit and dishonesty does
not matter.
But the biggest mistake by McCanless may have been his: “To
think you could ever have Charles in your pocket, much less for the price of a
lousy lunch, is ludicrous…” because events were to prove him right.
As we have seen in the link to “pedaling influence for employment.” there were “over
70,000 reasons” (See second paragraph from the bottom) why the
President and Publisher George McCanless was wrong.
We have to remember we would not know anything about the “over
70,000 reasons” if it had not been for Bill Knowles of wearepolitics.com.
The last mistake President and Publisher George McCanless
made was he told us that: “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. I have heard Charles give that same advice.”
As we pointed out above we would have never known about the “over
70,000 reasons” if it had not been for Bill Knowles of wearepolitics.com. President and Publisher McCanless has avoided it.
Reasonable people may conclude and it appears to be evident
that both The Telegraph’s President and Publisher and Editorial Page Editor have
no compunction about misleading people. To date as for as we know McCanless has
not written a word about the “pedaling influence for employment” by his
Editorial Page Editor, we assume this is because he wants to bless the event.
We have to ask if Mercer President William D. Underwood is comfortable with all this and what does that
say about him? It must be the smell of that grant money and what is that when
compared to morality and integrity?
My, my all of this could lead to improvement
on another hatchet job and character assassination, after all we are approaching another election.
Have a nice day.
