So . . . ABC has got to one of us. I warned you.
Since I am a media critic and a member of several whistleblowing groups, I was interested in the "whistleblowers" to whom the above revelations were attributed. When I found out they were "truthseekers," I stopped looking. I don't trust truthseekers, but more about that later.
While I have your attention--Hey! I'm talking to you!--that local newspaper I don't trust is owned by Gannett, or at least it was a few weeks ago. Gannett has the reputation of not taking care of their outlying, smaller papers. The way the newspaper business has gone lately, the paper here might have been behind the "Balloon Boy" story. I'm sure the hotel business here (current score: 3 hotel/convention centers under construction; 3 major hotels in bankruptcy) was happy to have the information slime-mold of the world here.
As for truthseekers, I've never been that fond of even the honest ones. I wouldn't be very good at a Grail quest, since I'd be too fascinated by stuff I found on the ground to get anywhere. As far as I'm concerned, the truth can stay "out there." Like Whitman, my interest is in what's under my bootsoles. That can be kind of profound too.
