    Also, can you refute one bit of the evidence that others have presented? Or do you keep coming back to the Big Macs?

    You did not answer my question. Does the station refer to him as "Detroit News columnist Rob Parker"?

    Let's not go overboard with this Moddy.
    The guy could have gotten the TV gig without the newspaper job so don't go high and mighty about the newspaper.
    He had two different jobs. He screwed up on one. So if I go by your infinite wisdom, a screw up on one job should cost him two jobs?

    I don't watch TV news so I really can't say if it does or doesn't.

    Lord. There ain't a drill bit alive ***

    He would NOT have the TV job without the paper. And you are avoiding the big question: Get your mind off Big Macs for a minute and answer this - can you refute anything that has been presented? None of this, "Big Mac vs. Whopper" horseshit. Yes or no? Is it all true.

    And, yes, a screwup in one should cost him the other in this case but it sounds like way more than ONE screwup. Read my original post if you are able. I made it clear that one screwup isn't a job-ender.

    Just go bang your head against a concrete wall. You can't talk sense to some people.

    It would cause less pain, that's for sure.

    Why are you so worked up about this? it isn't worth the effort. I don't think he should lose both jobs. Obviously you do.
    The debate ends there.

    Still waiting for the answer on the other question: Can you refute any of the things presented here?

    You got my answer earlier. It appears that he made reporting mistakes earlier. What more do you want me to say?

    Yes, what was said is true.
    No, what was said is not true.
    You never addressed the points about his history that were made since my original post.
