Whitlock wronged by Playboy

[clutchcargo]

Jeremiah Wright is the biggest self-indulgent, hateful, anti-American blowhard saboteur of a presidential candidate's campaign who is soaking up the attention while continuing to blast USA---and somehow that's Sean Hannity's and Fox News's fault????!!!

He certainly isn't Fox News's fault, but I guarantee people like Hannity love him--they'll put him in front of a camera as much as they can. The more inflammatory things he says, the better.

The column was justified, but not for KC Star readers. It needs(ed) to run in Playboy with or after his piece runs.

From the readers' comments:

Jason - Nowhere in this article did I read: 'I am concerned enough about the perception my sources and others will have from this misleading headline that I have donated the check I received from Playboy for _____ thousand dollars, to the _________ charity.'

You have to leave the moral high ground to go cash the check Jason.

I hereby retract my earlier stance that all readers' comment sections are pieces of shirt.

That had to be an sj member who wrote that.

I am looking forward to reading the column . Should make for a very interesting debate around here. It brings together many of sj''s favorite debate topics in one nice tidy bundle.

Beaker:
This past week I saw Rev. Wright making the rounds in front of all the national media such as at the National Press Club and a couple other places, and at no time did I see Sean hannity holding a gun to his head. This Wright guy is soaking this stuff up, having the time of his life, getting erady to move into his multi-million-dollar new home surrounded by rich white people, the very same demographic he nukes frmo the pulpit. Is Hannity forcing him to do that too?

 

[Paper Champion]

The reader's intelligence is being underestimated. Several words in bold should not supersede a 5000-word article.

Sure people will see the headline first. But after digesting the story, the average reader should have an understanding of what the piece is really about.

I'm sure Whitlock has never sensationalized comments or taken them out of context for the benefit of his column. I'm sure he's never used gimmicks that have nothing to do with his columnn to draw attention to himself. (sarcasm meeter high)

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, I guess.

To your point Whitlock wrote a few columns telling us that people hated Barry Bonds because he was going to break Babe Ruths HR record. The question was - what HR record since it was held by Hank Aaron . Obviously using Babe Ruth served his point better.

Jesus forking Christ.
When are you people going to realize that 90% of this forking country doesn't know nor care about Jason forking Whitlock.

It would just be so much easier if you could make us a list of what we were and were not allowed to talk about.

Get it pinned to the top, just in case anyone gets a wild hair, it's right there to reference.

Thanks.

Well so what? What does Hannity's feeling have to do with anything? Who cares what Fox News thinks? It was alluded to that Fox was the news team stirring the Wright crap up, which is insane.
