Here's the kind of journalistic ethics (and Scaife's personal agenda) you can expect from the Trib.

From what I can gather, they do this anonymous piece each Sunday.

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/columnists/whispers/s_547174.html

This piece speaks volumes about how not respected that rag is.

I don't see what the big deal here is.

I know you don't.

Good God, are you an ass.

OK ... yeah, that was necessary.

And your previous post wasn't?

And your previous post was?

Yeah. I read the entire column. It was nothing but a smarmy hatchet job on myriad Democrats in Pennsylvania. Of course you wouldn't have a problem with it.

And I'm sure you'd have a big problem with it if it was perceived to be a hatchet job the other way.

Simple solution. Don't read it, and don't work there if you don't like it.

I would, actually, if only for the tone. Same reason I loathe Jay Mariotti. But, Jeebus, at least make an attempt to appear balanced. They couldn't have thrown a token GOPer under the bus?

Well, I guess anybody who loathes Jay can't be all bad.

The Trib employs John Harris and Mike Prisuta as columnists and Scott Brown as a Steelers beat writer.
That's all you need to know.

Cue Russ Grimm comment in 3...2....oh wait, I already made it, didn't I?

I'm not sure that really clears things up, Notepad, other than to point out that you don't like those three. I'm sure a lot of people know Prisuta's name from the Grimm thing, but are the other two that well known?

Got an e-mail a year or so ago from this place (resume was on JJobs.com) telling me there was a copy editing/design opening. Said if I wanted more info, contact them.
So I did.
Then I got a nasty e-mail back from the dude who contacted me, telling me I should be selling myself to him, telling him why I should get this job. WTF? I mean, get a clue, dude, you contacted me, not the other way around.
So I forwarded his e-mail to the EE and the HR person and said something along the lines of, if this is the way you treat potential employees, good luck filling that position.

As has been said before, steer clear.

And yet, somebody will sell themselves, will get the job and the paycheck, and might even be happy there.

Maybe, but $25k in Pittsburgh ain't buying a lot of Yuengling (or IC Light, for that matter).
