Arkansas Blog

Let's hope the writer changed her style radically and salted in enough deceptive incidents -- what she did, what she saw, what she knows, etc. -- to lead the hounds in another direction. Sounds like the her babies still need shoes.

What a great post. A reminder why in reality this blog is a better source for day to day news in Arkansas than outlets with dozens of reporters and multi million dollar budgets.

To the blogger who defended Hargrove tonight....take Max out for a beer sometime and have him tell you about how Hargrove and the paper twisted the coverage of the Division of Youth Services story to try to win a Pulitzer. Every single rule of decency and fair coverage was tossed out by a paper desperate to claim it's own Pulitzer rather than the one they bought in the Gazette purchase.

It wasn't biased coverage. It was coverage the intentionally withheld pieces and added others to make the story more dramatic. Over a bowl of gumbo ask Max about the letter he wrote to the Pulitzer committee. Hargrove was a strange person. Maybe she was a good reporter once but she sure wasn't when she reached the DG.

This is a lengthy but indept and informative -- appropo!

Uh oh!
What I meant to say about Bill was:
Simmons is one million years old so if there's an old boy at the Dem-Gaz, it's him. Seriously, that man has seen and heard it all in the 30 to 40 years he's been in the news business, including, I'm sure, penis talk and the casual use of racial slurs. Maybe he's even indulged in that behavior in the past, but I've certainly never heard or seen him behave the way that Mitchell describes, and I don't think he'd put up with anyone who would. However, it's folly for him to address the editor meetings since I do know that he doesn't go to them - ever.

What short memories people have once they enter the voting booths for the very people (minority) President Clinton gave the most hope too have turned on her with a vengeance. For nothing more than a shot in the dark with little substance and a stadium full of orator! So Ironic!

It better be more than BS orator otherwise all we die hard D-----! will have left is a belly full of Obama Grits!

Thank God John McCain wasn't the War Hero he has led us to believe but then everyone knew GWB entered the Guard ahead of others who went to Nam in his place and died and because of it America has been dead/AWOL for a long 7 years!

Well apparently that's all Jesus had a few thousand years back, least that's what those uneducated cave men told us, but it's been one step forward and 2 steps back controversy ever since.

Did anyone else notice the amount of crying the poster did about the Arkansas Times and how they don't care what the AT or its readers think about the Dog? Hilarious. I think you protest too much, poster.

Also, you're right about the tornado coverage. I think even the Atkins Chronicle outdid the Dog on that one.
