knapplc Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 When will these idiots learn? This is so common among these morons. Connie Schultz, a Pulitzer prize-winning columnist and wife of Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, posted an E-mail exchange between herself and an unnamed, unwitting conservative blogger to her Facebook page Tuesday night. The blogger emailed Schultz on July 9 to say, smugly: "Dear Ms. Shultz, We are doing an expose on journalists in the elite media who socialize with elected officials they are assigned to cover. We have found numerous photos of you with Sen. Sherrod Brown. In one of them, you appear to be hugging him. Care to comment?" [see: Latest political cartoons] Schultz, of course, is married to Brown. She wrote back a day later: "Dear Mr. [Name Deleted]: I am surprised you did not find a photo of me kissing U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown so hard he passes out from lack of oxygen. He's really cute. He's also my husband. You know that, right?" A week has passed, but Schultz says she's received no response from the blogger. "Waiting, I'm waiting...." the columnist wrote on her Facebook page Tuesday. Link to comment
Enhance Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 "Gotcha" journalism at it's finest. Well, the exact opposite, actually. What a pathetic excuse for a blogger. One of the many problems with news reporting as a whole, either hoodwink your way into a story or sensationalize the one you've got. People lap this kind of news up like ants eating sugar water, though. Painfully frustrating. Link to comment
