The non-bitter McClatchy ‘hangin’ in the wind,’ HAPPY, HAPPY employees? Perhaps the qualified reporters writing make-believe news in Alaska? The pink slip dreading editors? <BR/>Give us a break! No McClatchy employee is happy! Of course, perhaps someone does enjoy seeing their company go down the drain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-67083584436249420892009-01-22T23:27:00.000-08:002009-01-22T23:27:00.000-08:00McClatchy dosen't lie, they embellish the truth!McClatchy dosen't lie, they embellish the truth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-38266618242756825322009-01-22T22:47:00.000-08:002009-01-22T22:47:00.000-08:00Anon 5:23, Thanks for taking the time to make a SP...Anon 5:23, Thanks for taking the time to make a SPOT ON post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-30993761032236200632009-01-22T22:46:00.000-08:002009-01-22T22:46:00.000-08:00Actually, it's quite easy to explain.

The media didn’t mention the FREE rock concert until absolutely forced to do so, and it was weeks later. Some people didn’t even know Obama was coming. Phony hype, liberals pushed it, dummies believed it. Just another example of fraud by the snake oil salesman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-16668731367871898782009-01-22T17:42:00.000-08:002009-01-22T17:42:00.000-08:00Thank goodness for the layers of editors and fact-...Thank goodness for the layers of editors and fact-checkers at McClatchy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-21331009564707302102009-01-22T17:23:00.000-08:002009-01-22T17:23:00.000-08:00This isn't the first time McClatchy has been caugh...This isn't the first time McClatchy has been caught lying about the numbers. They falsified the attendance numbers of a number of Obama's functions during the campaign that were directly discredited by the law enforcement agencies designated to estimate those crowds. They also neglected little details like huge crowds to "see Obama" that were actually there to see a concert and Obama just happened to show up and take the stage. <BR/> The best of all however is their printing of a photo appearing to be a convention center impressively packed to overflowing. At least that is what they led you to believe, right up till the photo without the zoom effect appeared elsewhere the next day revealing an empty arena with a stage and a few dozen people all crowded into the shot. <BR/><BR/>I am especially fond of the latter stunt as an exact same scenario was the reason I quit at the Houston Chronicle.
