The program is aired weekday mornings on Fox TV Channel 24, WGXA and Radio Station 940 WMAC AM. Richardson whom we sometimes refer to as Low-Grade (because some of the low-grade scams he has pulled in the past) made clear his feelings and by extension The Telegraph’s on disagreements with their readers.
It seems that a caller disagreed with the way the paper handled a story about a local city mayor who was picked up for DUI (Driving under the Influence). A message was left on “Richardson’s answering machine. Richardson took advantage of the morning program to lash out at the caller. He assured the audience that the caller could "go to hell", and in case there was any misunderstanding he repeated it, “go to hell, straight to hell”, etc.
Richardson tells us that “Obviously our reporters were on it they got the report when they got the report and we put it in the paper when we put it in the paper and I don’t have anything to do with that.”
We might note here that The Telegraph's reporters have received none of the reports of the scandals of this administration. They have ignored each and everyone.
Benghazi, Libya has dominated the news and for them to ignore this will destroy any credibility they think they still have.
Richardson says “…we put it in the paper…” but then Richardson tells us that “…I don’t have anything to do with that.” Confusing, perhaps, but we can each make up own mind. It seems as if Richardson was worried about his credibility. Even more confusing is Richardson’s remarks that“This caller disrespectful put all of my credibility on that story going into the paper like I had something to do with it, I don’t.”
Perhaps we are just slow, but we do not understand how leaving a message on an answering machine threatens anyone credibility. It looks as if only the caller and the recipient would know about it.
Judging from the way he selects the letters and other material for the editorial page of The Telegraph we would think his “credibility” is limited anyway. It is most likely limited to family, a few friends and a few Kool-Aid drinkers.
Here are some of our favorites from the past, which may reflect on why we feel as we do about his credibility. Maybe we should not give him all of the credit, as The Telegraph, in general affects us that way.
Occasionally in the past Charles Richardson has spastic fits and spew things that are absolutely untrue. It makes one wonder if he is being dishonest or it is his public school education speaking. Whatever the reason Burgamy sets there and ignores it or makes some remark about a bomb!
Back during the “blue dress era” One such instance which came up was when there were reports that some of the Secret Service Agents may have to testify against Clinton. Richardson pops off “that they could not do that” because “they took a loyalty oath to him.” We kept waiting for Burgamy to set this straight, however it never happened. We remember this well as we wrote a letter to the editor to set the record straight,needless to say it was ignored.
We would think anybody with a fifth grade education would know that in the United States, no one takes an oath to an individual. The exception may be the Mafia, which is beyond our expertise. We do know that anyone working for the Government who is required to take an oath takes an oath to the Constitution of the United States. We would have thought that either Richardson or Burgamy would have known this.
Then years after Bill Clinton’s impeachment, when it came up Richardson tells us that he “wrote a column calling for Clinton’s impeachment.” Folks this had to be another case of selective memory.We are not saying he did not write the column, we are saying we did not find a copy of it in the Bibb County Public Library. Maybe he stuck it under his mattress, we do not know.
Another one to make you wonder about his education was his telling the world (On February 7, 2007) that “The boiling point of water is determined by its relationship to sea level. The higher above sea level, the lower the boiling point.” This is incredible, one does not know if it indicates ignorance or incompetence. It does demonstrate he has never heard of the Thermodynamic Properties of Steam.
It never ceases to amaze us how the two, Richardson and Burgamy ridicule and lash out at others, such as city council members, local mayors and others running for public office who commit various offences.
But one gets the impression that they think it is perfectly permissible for them to engage in the same conduct. After all who is going to question them.
Richardson controls the letters that are permitted on the editorial page and they control the calls to the program "News Talk Central" with a call screener. Also of late they ignore all e-mails, letters, etc.
Here are a couple of examples of why we feel as we do. Back during the last election cycle when Bubba Epps was running for Georgia House District 140. He was interviewed on News Talk Central and he was asked if he had plans to change party and to this he responded in the negative. After taking office he did in fact change party.
After this there was untold ranting and raving on “News Talk Central” about How Epps “sat here on this set and lied” to us.
However when one of The Telegraph’s employees wants to set there and “lie” everyone is quiet as a mouse, not one peep. This applies to what they print in the paper also. For instant back during the “blue dress era” when they were on the Kenny B and Charles E. show and the media was busy excusing Clinton’s draft dodging. Every one was excusing all Clintons crimes and his lies about his draft dodging.
The subject of Richardson’s lack of military service came up. Richardson ranted and raved about how he “watched his lottery number” like a hawk and how he was not going, etc. We remember this well because from that time forth we referred to him as “a potential draft dodger”
Then years later, during the Xmas holiday season 0f 2010, while Burgamy was on vacation. Richardson changed the reason he did not serve. He tells a very different tale. This time it is how bad he wanted to serve and how he went down to join. However he was only seventeen and “his mother would not sign for him.” It looks like he thought everyone would have forgotten the first story.
Ole Bubber Epps could not lie on that set but it was O.K. for Richardson to lie about his lack of military service. (See the note at the bottom of this column)
It looks as if we may have to “go to hell” also. But so be it!

Note: Until now, March 8, 2012 Executive Page Editor Charles
Richardson in his own words has “resisted writing to you” as he put it about
what we had to say about his like of military service. The following is a
verbatim copy of his reply! Richardson seems to think this is personal; I can
assure him it is no more personal than his comments on the former president
Bush’s military service or the cover up for the traitor and former presidential
candidate John Kerry which The Telegraph endorsed.
Richardson writes:
“Jimmy, I have resisted writing to you, I don't expect this note to change your mind about me. However, I will answer one of your oft used complaints about my lack of military service. Nothing about my history has been changed or altered."
"I graduated from high school when I was 17. As you know, in order to join the military in 1969 you had to be 18 years of age or get your parent's permission. My mother did not grant her permission. I entered college and the draft lottery was in place. My number was 169. My plan, and what I've expressed publicly, is that if my number came up, I would JOIN the Air Force or the Navy. I did not want to be DRAFTED into the Army. Too many of the people I attended high school with had already returned from Southeast Asia in body bags. The draft didn't get close to calling my number and I remained in school.”
“You can make out of that what you will. That's your decision.”
The truth is we were not trying to make anything “out of
that” but we feel his lack of military service is as pertinent as anyone else’s
when he is going to comment on other peoples military service or like thereof,
etc.
Say for instance George Bush’s military service. The
Telegraph beat that to death and prior to that they made light of their man Bill
Clinton’s draft dodging.
The Telegraph went on and in the opinion of reasonable people
covered up to the best of their ability the treason of John Kerry and then endorsed him for President of the United States.
