Line between news, opinion getting blurry

[Mr. Jones]

Column in the Times West Virginian takes issue with the Metronews operation... or at least some attached to the operation:

Ouchy!

Meow!

Way too catty for my taste.

Dale Miller, the general manager of the West Virginia Radio Corp., admits there is little impartiality and doesn’t believe there should be.

“I make no apologies. I mean, in sports, I’m Vince McMahon.

Hmmmm....


Have you tried to kill yourself on the air Mr. Miller?

I think the Chris Lawrence story on "Rock Snot" was a thinly veiled attack on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

(Self-edited two things Vince has done on the air that might be considered libelous if I rhetorically asked them of Mr Miller here and he actually had! )
Claimed possession of a "genetic jackhammer?"
Pronounced yourself "god?" (Or was that "the devil?")
Told the fans they suck?

Or maybe.....

Learned that passion means money regardless of the direction of that passion?
Used the existence and passion of the big fanbase to leverage the company into all the new media?
Embraced the idea that superior production values create a strong experience for consumers that helps bring them back week after week?
Realized that the good guy's long pursuit of the championship is usually a better story than his actually carrying it?
Become a paper-near-billionaire along the way?



By the way, did anybody else love the fact that the writer attacked only the electronic media? As far as presenting opinion in with the "news," the writer probably thought print deserved to have continued exclusive rights!

I think it was his own religion.
