If a public official breaks the speed limit and doesn’t get a ticket then MAYBE that’s news (ie Bauer and Sanford’s recent run ins) This is not. The CJ got a ticket and she paid it. Who hasn’t. I also her she took a crap that morning. Is that news. Its just a way for Sic to transition into a “remember that time” post. Yes the CJ had some questionable issues with her car but that doesn’t make this news.

Your rationale is absolutely pathetic. How you equate speeding with a disregard for the law and usurping liberties is moronic.

First, the whole of my post points out the absurdity that a Sanford loyalist is telling you anything. That story post was conveniently timed to some case that was before the Court. So if you’re going to quote me, work on your literacy skills first.

But since you’re going to pat yourself of the back for “breaking” a story, let’s go to the videotape.

Last month, you bring us a “breaking” news post where you “report” an “‘incident’” (that’s me quoting you “quoting” someone) with the Chief Justice. The thrust of the news story is that a Columbia City cop, “prominent” supporter of Sanford’s and a consultant to a mayoral candidate have provided you with an amazing story. Three independent and seemingly credible witnesses have all provided you with a story involving an undefined “‘incident’” that provides no specifics whatsoever. Instead, you rehash what the informed reader already knows about the Chief Justices driving history.

You like to tease a story before you “report” it, so the faithful reader assumes that more is coming. You take the step yourself to assure the intrepid reader that we will get this “news” story from you. You even go so far as to write, “We’ll be bringing you what we’ve been told about this latest alleged vehicular drama soon, assuming Toal doesn’t censor it, anyway.” Your readers should note that you once again gratuitously back-tracked to another non-news story in this sentence. What did not happen in the weeks and weeks and weeks to follow was another single post by you including any or all of this story that you were supposedly given.

So, on Thursday, the Associated Press reports that the Chief Justice paid a speeding ticket (link below). Not surprisingly, the article includes things like who, what, when, and where. In short, facts. Something your absurd article lacked.

So in summary: You post a story that’s really about the sources and not about the story. You promise a follow up with all of the facts, which you did not deliver. Instead, you post an “I told you so” story that falls well short of accomplishing it by linking to an article from the Main Stream Media, which you have attacked on probably six occasions since you post the first story, to validate facts that you yourself never actually provided to the reader. The only interesting thing in this post is that it took you three days to tell us that you told us so. But you didn’t write that, so you won’t find it as interesting.

So your first story was either a lucky guess or grandiose attempt to troll your readers to put meat on the bone of a rumor you heard. I’m betting on the latter.

Either way, this new story simply demonstrates why this whole website is a farce of ego maniacal musings shrouded by rumors masked as facts. That is then punctuated by not-so-subtly placed stories about high search celebrities that I read on the top three gossip sites two days before.

You’ve truly become the WiZzzzzzzzzzard. See what I did there?

Thanks for making it easy.
