Up The Creek In Asheboro

Sir Buzz-of-the-Asheboro-Armfields called this afternoon to complement me on my last post about the gang of bought-&-paid-for hypocrites at the Courier Tribune and their utterly laughable take on "strong newspapers" and  public records (3/25 Addendum:  That post has been updated).  It was "one of your better ones", he said.  We both marvel that the meltdown of Community One is the BIGGEST business story to ever hit Asheboro, but somehow, the only real in-depth coverage the locals are consistently getting is courtesy of a newspaper 30 miles away.

Sayeth, Sir Buzz, "Yes, indeed, Doctor Johnson (the Buzzman says "Doctor Johnson" in such an endearingly snarky way), if the local citizenry relied upon Asheboro's Courier Tribune for a tsunami warning, that cowardly Confederate in front of the Courthouse would be wearing swim trunks and using his rifle as a paddle before anyone ever heard about it".

Yes indeed.  Don't I know it.

And just for the record, J.D., I'll go ON THE RECORD about that other ugly story you and your pals have determinedly ignored for thirteen years . . . ANY DAY you want. 

It's not so hard.  You just have to ask.  And acutally PICK UP your pen.

Tell J.D. Walker that even a High Point television station beat them to the punch, see the link below posted at 11:11 AM on March 23rd:

Keep plugging J.D., you can still get a Community One story out in time for Saturday, but you'll have to work hard.....

Asheboro's newspaper is such a pathetic JOKE. Their eyelids have been sewn shut for years.

"No one will go on the record" (on the Community One and other stories) is not just a lie . . . but a damned lie . . . and a sorry cop-out.

This blog is proof enough of that.
