Fuck politics and Falk's incompetance, and vote for Mistele.MALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503524741573516284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395199322174265901.post-30182429215748378852009-04-03T11:31:00.000-05:002009-04-03T11:31:00.000-05:00Here fucking here, Dusty, and well said--both on w...Here fucking here, Dusty, and well said--both on what it is to be a reporter, and on Mistele.

And thank you...Dusty, this is really a great post. And thank you for remembering you're a human being FIRST, reporter/anchor second. A lot of guys your age don't realize that. You CAN be sensitive and still do a hard-hitting story. The thing so many people like Mr. Tool, the photographer, forget, is that THEY live in the community, too, and are judged as citizens as well as "journalists".<BR/><BR/>Too bad TDY doesn't have a long-form formate for stuff like this....you'd be really, really good at it.<BR/><BR/>/tjmTim Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457723301178870851noreply@blogger.com
