BISD

Has the media been fair or unfair to BISD? Too hard? Not hard enough? Tell Trog.

Thomas should be kicked to the curb with the rest of the rubbish.

Thomas isn't the problem. The problem is that this populace is lethargic and can't get over the fact that their local schools are predominantly black, hispanic or low income. And these black, hispanic and low income schools are achieving recognized and exemplary status. The local media or populace is not sure how to deal with the fact that their superintendent knows how to educate minority and low income students. Have noticed that know media coverage has really spotlighted that reality locally.

That is an interesting point.

An excellent idea for a story. Anyone willing to take it?

I really hate to do this here but check out Philip's latest photograph showing "Corruption in Jefferson County."

Philip, Bevil Oaks had close to four inches of rain this morning yet the ground in your photograph looks surprisingly dry. Nope, not a puddle in sight.

Answer : I have to. This is simply THE PRIME EXAMPLE of Jefferson County, Texas and the media! This is it! It is just too choice! Really people - this writer is a real person that really thinks they are "on to something!"

So - let me now confess. Here is what happened. I paid a guy - to get in a county truck and go park in the woods. And when he parked in the woods - I got a person that lives in Bevil Oaks to get a camera and take a picture and send it to me.........no no no.....here is what I really did......I drove around and looked for a county truck parked in the woods and I took a picture.....no no no...here is what I did - I photo shopped a picture and put the county sticker on it...and then....

Kill the messenger? You just cannot make this stuff up! It is way too funny. And sorry Trog - I had too. I will go away again. Some people will DO ANYTHING or SAY ANYTHING. After that post I would NEVER EVER admit to that post.

First, the photograph doesn't show a county employee sleeping in the truck. It just shows a truck with what looks like a county sticker on it. Was the county doing any work in the area? This story needs more follow up. You should have checked the license number and then called the appropriate county office.

Second, they have a point. Your post reads that the photograph was taken today yet it was pouring rain.

I'm sorry, I'm not buying it.

What is going on over at Channel4? I heard they ley go of their morning producer who I thought was pretty good.

Channel 4 is dropping the Fox Network. On January 1, 2010 KJAC will become the local BET station. News announced at staff meeting this morning.

Assuming for a moment that the photo is genuine and the statement from the "reader" is true...
PRK, isn't it your premise that individuals are responsible for their own actions? If that is the case, how does this irresponsible person prove "corruption?"

BISD might be passing their TAKs, but I don't know how....Look at the product they are turning out. For the most part, they are as dumb as a stick. I wouldn't hire a BISD grad if my life depended on it. They can't put a sentence together. They can't do simple math. How they are beating the system is beyond me....

Once again, Operation Kleinwatch has put Philip in his place. Check out their answers to the "questions" Philip suggested we ask Jeff Branick. Philip, if you are going to tell us how to do our jobs, do your homework first! Another classic example why one should not practice journalism at home.

Looks like 12 picked BISD's side.

My bet is you will only find the Examiner and The Enterprise going after BISD. Too many local ties with the others.

It was obvious that Jackie's interview was staged to show BISD in a more positive light. I bet Thomas handpicked the questions himself.

It seems that now would be a perfect time for a story on the BISD tax rate.

I am anxious to see how each outlet handles the BISD news conference this afternoon.

Did anyone notice a very strange twitter from KFDM today?

Let me see if I have this straight. BISD appealed a C and got a B-?

"As for the taser demo, FOX 4 was the only complete news team to step up for the challenge, but it wasn't just about getting a certificate. It was about doing whatever it takes to better translate a story from the officers to the public"

So that's why there was so little news on the air that day.

Wonder about the other 364 days?

Looks like Gator is at it again. Everyone knows that Jackie is already in Thomas's pocket.

Klein never ceases to make me laugh. Philip, H1N1 swine flu is a form of Influenza A.

I am reminded of the classic SNL skit where Gilda Radner as 'Emily Litella' looks to the camera and says "Oh...nevermind..."

Is that a Jackie in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
