The Telegraph uses Yarbrough

On January 15, 2013 The Telegraph ran a column by Dick Yarbrough under the title Local newspapers provide information that empowers. We never really paid much attention to what Yarbrough writes. We have offered wondered why
Yarbrough and Erickson, if they are sincere, would ignore what goes on at The Telegraph. Unlike other columnist found in The Telegraph both are what you may call locals and have to be familiar with The Telegraph and what goes on in the middle Georgia area.

As for Yarbrough’s column reasonable people may conclude that he is one of most uninformed individuals in the State of Georgia or he has a lot in common with the con-artist at The Telegraph.

You can read his column found at the above link and see the following which is why we feel as we do and make up your own mind.

We mailed Yarbrough a hard copy of the following by certified mail, to date there have been no comments from him.

Dick Yarbrough                                                                         January 29, 2013
P.O. Box 725373
Atlanta, GA. 31139

We were dumbfounded by your blanket accolades of local newspapers and newspaper publishers. To quote someone we once read this “has to be dumber than a yard rake.”

The [Macon] Telegraph ran the article under the heading “Local newspaper provide information that empowers”. They did not say who it empowers. Your column may look innocuous and we are sure it was meant that way. However in at least one case it is grossly misleading.  

We are going to provide some factual indisputable evidence with print from the pages of The [Macon] Telegraph and video clips from The Telegraph Morning news program News Talk Central. The program is no longer on the air and the video clips may give a hint of why.

This is one of the local newspapers you speak so highly of and we have to wonder just how proud “your momma and daddy” would be to find out you are hanging around people like this.

·        The Telegraph editorial page editor on Oct. 5, 2008 labeled some “lawmakers”, The Telegraph happened to disagree with, as “slimy” and “two-bit whores". I bet momma would be real proud of that. This can be seen at: “Courageous cowards” at http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=MaconTelegraphA&BaseHref=MTG/2008/10/05&PageLabelPrint=10A&EntityId=Ar01000&ViewMode=GIF

·        The Telegraph frequently labels people who disagree with them as liars. And if you disagree with The Telegraph as can be seen in the video at this link you are told as this individual was: “The caller can go to hell, straight to hell do not pass go.” What about his credibility? – or – http://wetrack-wetrack.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-about-his-credibility.html.

·        The above link also provides the attitude take by The Telegraph Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson when someone brings up his lack of “military service”. But then he considers the “military service” of anybody else fair game.

·        When The Telegraph gets things wrong and people call in you can see the reception they get in the first two videos of this link: The Telegraph and Mike Stucka's advice.  or  http://wetrack-wetrack.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-telegraph-and-mike-stuckas-advice.html

·        The third video clip at this link indicates how the “locals” address the individuals who disagree with them.

·        The forth video shows how the demeanor of The Telegraph’s Editorial Page Editor Charles improves after Kenny Burgamy was given the door and no one is pointing at The Telegraph’s "influence pedaling" and by inference Richardson penchant for “free lunches”.

·        Reasonable people can also come to the conclusion that The Telegraph was pedaling influence for the local officials as can be seen in the first two videos of the above link. In this case it is about the Chairman of Bibb County Board of Commissioners as can be seen in The Telegraph article at: Hart faces conflict of interest claim. Or http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=MaconTelegraphA&BaseHref=MTG%2F2012%2F03%2F15&ViewMode=HTML&PageLabelPrint=1A&EntityId=Ar00102

·        As for the “locals” acknowledging things when there is a disagreement as can be seen by the picture (in the above link) The Telegraph staff in any case where they do not want to address a problem or want to cover it up. They just ignore it, even certified mail.

·        One of the most disgusting things The Telegraph has done was join the “big boys” and use their material for: “The Telegraph's "high-tech" lynching of Herman Cain!” or  http://wetrack-wetrack.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-telegraphs-hi-tech-lynching-of.html  The Telegraph edited out all of the
unfavorable information on the women to make their accusations of “sexual harassment” more creditable.  What was known but not used by The Telegraph is all found in the above link. The Telegraph was never honest with the people about these charges and to this day has not properly informed the people.  

Now we find there have not been one word, not one peep about Senator Mendez and his penchant for “underage prostitutes” from this “local”. Nor his preference for interns who are “…registered sex offenders”. The following links show exactly what we are talking about and there is more evidence on this than all the “big boys” and “locals” put together had on the accusations of sexual harassment on Herman Cain. 




Any news on this would violate the policy set by President and Publisher George McCanless in an e-mail to us on July 23, 2010 2:21 PM in a response to an inquiry about other Democrats who were having ethical problems.

McCanless informed us that they had not “…been convicted of anything---yet. Then to insure we understood he emphasised “…I trust you get the message.” 
·        During the last administration when the media bared their fangs and sharpened their claws and set their sights on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales The Telegraph made sure they did not miss a thing, they were after anybody and everybody in that administration.

·        The Telegraph is “up to their neck” in what has to be one of the most corrupt educational systems in the State of Georgia. The Telegraph has never come clean about their editorial page editor’s trip to Communist China; the Chinese teachers from China: Dr. Dallemand (County School Supt. for Bibb County.) and the Bibb County Board of Education. They were instrumental in bringing this about. This is back in the news again and it looks as if Dallemand is trying to slither away with a hefty potion of the taxpayers’ money and it looks as if the “local” will slither out of their part in all this and be free to repeat it again. This can be seen at: Dallemand seeks buyout or http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODE/TheTelegraph/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=TVRHLzIwMTMvMDEvMjQ.&pageno=MQ..&entity=QXIwMDEwMw..&view=ZW50aXR5

·        We are all well aware of the way the Chinese do business. They made sure the Clinton Administration was awash in Communist Chinese Money. Of course for the money the Clinton Administration was providing them with technology which we see in the upgrade and expansion of the Communist Chinese military to this day. The high speed computers and upgrades sold to them by the Clinton Administration as revealed in the “Cox report” are being used in their cyber-attacks on the United States today. For anyone who doubts this, Bill Gertz has written three books on the subject and he provides irrefutable documentation and evidence.


·        Another excellent book on the subject is Year of the Rat-how Bill Clinton Compromised U.S. Security for Chinese Cash – (1998) – By Edward Timperlake and William C. Triplett II  

The sources for this material are undisputable. It might be noted that when we returned to the middle Georgia after leaving the Navy we spent many hours in the Bibb County public library going back to the early 90’s and at that time overwhelmed with disgust we quit. So much for your “locals”.

We think nothing shows The Telegraph’s penchant for misleading the public more than the way they handled the Clinton Presidency. Particularly galling was their editorial on January 28th 1992; five days after the Gennifer Flowers story broke.

The telegraph instructs the people on how they should handle the situation; their instructions are “Let’s be very careful and very specific in judging Gov. Bill Clinton, a leading Democratic presidential candidate in trouble with his past.” They went on to absolve him of all responsibility by telling the public that; “His problem stems from allegations in a sleazy supermarket tabloid that pays big money for its muck.”


This is the same “local” that in future years would do the “high-tech” lynching of Republican Candidate Herman Cain with relish.  We now know about The Telegraph’s penchant for lousy lunches on the taxpayer’s dime and what appears to be their willingness to pedal influence for employment. The “lousy lunch” is a fact. We might note that there is a lot more circumstantial evidence of the Telegraph pedaling influence for employment than there was for Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain’s charges of sexual harassment. We have it on video; the video presented here is just a small portion of their conduct.

·        The late Phil Dodson, former Editorial Page Editor of The Telegraph was telling people as late as August 2003 that all Clinton did was he “…lied about having an illicit sexual affair with a woman (other allegations of wrongdoing proved to be unsupportable after a lengthy and hugely expensive investigation by Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr)."

This is also the individual which in a phone conversation about a letter we wrote told us that “Nobody could tell him anything he did not know about the Clinton impeachment.” When asked about David P. Schippers, Dodson snapped “never heard of him”. This was amazing; David P. Schippers was the “Chief Investigative Counsel” for the Clinton Impeachment.

·        If it had not been for Kenny Burgamy, a local pundit and Bill Knowles of wearepolitics.coma lot of this would have never been exposed. If this is not the primary reason it surely is one of the reasons president and publisher George McCanless got rid of Burgamy. The article at this link is misleading, this departure was not amicable, it was a cover up: “Kenny B. leaving WGXA for WMAZ” or http://digital.olivesoftware.com/OLIVE/ODE/THETELEGRAPH/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=TVRHLzIwMTIvMDYvMjA.&pageno=MTE.&entity=QXIwMTEwNA..&view=ZW50aXR5

As seen in a previous video link Burgamy’s departure was awfully funny to The Telegraph Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson.

·        When the Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson got caught dining off the taxpayer’s dime. courtesy of the Bibb County School Superintendent, the president and publisher George McCanless wrote a column making excuses for him. This pathetic display can be seen at this link. “lousy lunches”  or  http://digital.olivesoftware.com/OLIVE/ODE/THETELEGRAPH/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=TVRHLzIwMTIvMDMvMDQ.&pageno=MzU.&entity=QXIwMzUwMA..&view=ZW50aXR5

McCanless points out Richardson knew what he was doing was wrong. He then tells us that: “To think you could ever have Charles in your pocket, much less for the price of a lousy lunch, is ludicrous….” On that point he was absolutely right a short time later it was Bill Knowles of wearepolitics.com which exposed the fact that The Telegraph Editorial Page Editor’s wife was working for the Bibb County School Superintendent for over $70,000 a year. This can be seen at: http://www.wearepolitics.com/1/post/2012/04/what-the-bibb-boe-isnt-telling-you.html.

McCanless after telling the reader 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.” Yet this is exactly what McCanless and The Telegraph did in this case. To this day The Telegraph has not cleared the air on this and that is one reason the people of middle Georgia have no faith in anything they write on the school system and other things.

No one not even McClatchy seems to care about what appears to be hard core corruption at The Telegraph. McClatchy was notified as can be seen at: We Are Politics Exposes The Telegraph Once Again! or http://wetrack-wetrack.blogspot.com/2012/07/we-are-politics-exposes-telegraph-once.html

Information at this link also connects The Telegraph Executive Editor Sherrie Marshall to what appears to be the corruption of The Telegraph’s relationship with the Bibb County Board of Education and Dr. Dallemand. So we have all three individuals that were listed on The Telegraph masthead at that time implicated.

Burgamy kept referencing Bill Knowles’ web site. This focused people’s attention on things which was going on at the board of education which The Telegraph had ignored.

Right or wrong – we are not making that judgement but Richardson was making a somewhat suspicious and forceful defense of Dr. Dallemand, a man with a documented questionable background. A simple Google search sheds light on the facts.  
  
As can be seen at this link not everyone fell for what The Telegraph was pedaling: The Telegraph and the “Greased Pig Clip” or http://wetrack-wetrack.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-telegraph-and-greased-pig-clip.html

Last but not the least is The Telegraph’s cover up of the gunrunning out of the United States Justice Department. We are talking about guns which they are now trying to ban telling the average citizens they cannot have them but which they sold thousands to the Mexican Drug Cartels. These guns were linked to the death of three Federal Agents and the deaths of hundreds of Mexican Nationals including women and children. It resulted in a “Contempt of Congress” decision for Attorney General Eric Holder and then Obama declared “Executive Privilege” to protect the people who committed the crimes.

This has to be another first. We have an Attorney General and a so-called Constitutional lawyer who happens to be President of the United States who does not know “Executive Privilege” cannot be used to cover up crimes by the Government.

This “local” (The Telegraph) declared this “all politics” and told the whole world for this reason they would not cover these crimes. The Telegraph wanted nothing to do with anything that would implicate Holder and Obama as the cons they are. This as the Obama Administration decided they would start their gun control program and as Senator Feinstein says “Mr. and Mrs America… turn em all in” The Telegraph has not missed a beat as they carry the water for this administration. Feinstein can be seen at: Video: Dianne Feinstein Says Her Goal is to Disarm All Americans or http://www.infowars.com/video-dianne-feinstein-says-prepare-to-turn-in-your-guns/

Then there is Governor Cuomo’s slip as to his desire for total gun confiscation in the New York Times at: “Cuomo Says He’ll Outline Gun Proposal Next Month” or http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/21/nyregion/cuomo-says-he-will-outline-gun-measures-next-month.html?_r=0
No doubt there is self-interest but that does not excuse the misleading of the people. We can only assume that you are misinformed, at least where The Telegraph is concerned. 

We do not know if The Telegraph is a member of the Georgia Press Association or not and we are not paying $30.00 to find out. That is sort of immaterial anyway, it is the same profession and if the Georgia Press Association does not speak out against this type of conduct in their profession they are no better than the people committing the offences.

We can say the same for columns like yours which seem to pass off this kind of conduct. At the very least that gives the impression of hypocrisy. 

If you feel that we are wrong we would be glad to consider anything you have to say. If we had an honest “local” newspaper in middle Georgia you would not be reading this.

As things stand reasonable people could easily reach the conclusion that this “local”, The Telegraph, makes a living by deceiving the reader. 

Have a nice day.
