Hardly. Like lightning strikes, these incidents of criminal behavior by journalists are all too commonplace — as iowahawk reminded us last month in a critical (albeit recycled) piece about violence in our newsrooms:<br /><br />A Denver newspaper columnist is arrested for stalking a story subject. <br /><br />In Cincinnati, a television reporter is arrested on charges of child molestation. <br /><br />A North Carolina newspaper reporter is arrested for harassing a local woman. <br /><br />A drunken Chicago Sun-Times columnist and editorial board member is arrested for wife beating. <br /><br />A Baltimore newspaper editor is arrested for threatening neighbors with a shotgun. <br /><br />In Florida, one TV reporter is arrested for DUI, while another is charged with carrying a gun into a high school. <br /><br />A Philadelphia news anchorwoman goes on a violent drunken rampage, assaulting a police officer. <br /><br />In England, a newspaper columnist is arrested for killing her elderly aunt.<br /><br />Unrelated incidents, or mounting evidence of that America’s newsrooms have become a breeding ground for murderous, drunk, gun-wielding child molesters?<br /><br />The pattern is undeniable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-32320930508040025442009-11-02T20:06:00.868-08:002009-11-02T20:06:00.868-08:00The editor finally figured out how we feel about t...The editor finally figured out how we feel about the crap we find in The Post.John Altevogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537336489001296295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-68106273976580053302009-11-02T17:12:55.013-08:002009-11-02T17:12:55.013-08:004:36 deleted for violating the rules.4:36 deleted for violating the rules.Kevin Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694898785243338105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-5575407866742811172009-11-02T16:52:49.959-08:002009-11-02T16:52:49.959-08:004:36 why don't to pop down to the thread about...4:36 why don't to pop down to the thread about Anderson Cooper.
