    Prosecutors can complain about students paying sources, who then go buy drugs, when PROSECUTORS and COPS stop doing the same fucking thing with informants. Quit fucking crying, crybaby prosecutors. #journalismschool

    Actually, the kids who worked on this project (or, at least, previous classes) have found corroboration that convicted felons are actually guilty. They don't get better grades by proving the guy is innocent, the get better grades by investigating the issue thoroughly.

    Also, who cares if they paid a source? It's not like they're going to introduce this shit into evidence. That's the prosecutor's job. #journalismschool

    I have it from a reliable source that those prosecutors are working on this case in order to receive paychecks. Can we really trust the work of individuals with a profit motive? #medillinnocenceproject

    Cronkite had an angle too; he was trying to put butts in couches in front of his broadcast.

    Also, I'm surprised that ethical journalism's tits are better than mine. #medillinnocenceproject

    By the modern definition, Gawker is technically practicing "journalism" and well... there's going to be a time, if there hasn't already, when you're going to need the cover of "journalism" to hold up in court.

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: And I want to see his law degree, a notarized statement from the college president that donations from his folks did not influence his grades, his Illinois law license, a statment from the state bar there never has been discipline nor pending, and a notarized statement he was a virgin along with his wife, when they married.

    Otherwise, he's not a real American. #medillinnocenceproject

    The ice cream thing worked out well for Ben & Jerry. Borrow some money from your folks and open an ice cream cart.

    Cary Tennis tries very hard to sound insane. Sometimes, he pulls it off.


    I am sure that in person, he is a great, normal guy who wouldn't dare giving you bullshit advice to your face. However, having to satisfy the market that's "looking for something different", he has no choice but to write the most twisted crap that he can think of.


    Take me for example. I hate his fucking column. Yet, it's the only advice column I read, because I need obnoxious crap that I can criticize more than I need any actual advice on anything.

    Seriously, in ten years this same snowflake will decide to throw over what pseudo j-job she landed (permalancer, floating copy editor, police blotter round-up for the Carlsbad News-Argus) so she can open up a gourmet ice cream parlor on Etsy.

    My favorite Cary Tennis remains the one where he told a woman in a miserable marriage to go down to the beach and stare at the horizon.
