Comments on: Madonna Constantine: The Definitive Account (Part 1) http://bwog.com/2008/07/02/madonna-constantine-the-definitive-account-part-1/ Mon, 21 May 2012 02:57:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Anonymous http://bwog.com/2008/07/02/madonna-constantine-the-definitive-account-part-1/#comment-87834 Anonymous Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:48:08 +0000 http://bwog.com/2008/07/02/madonna-constantine-the-definitive-account-part-1#comment-87834 Not canned here honey!! Darlyne Bailey is my new dean. Ouch! He said, she said, fat, skinny, black, white, get a life. Was Luthar ever accused of anything but trying to do her job as chair and get back the money the former chair stole and the president (Bailey) did not want to know about? Get a life people, the cover up is always worse than the crime. The noose was wrong, but people who abuse their power like this, white or black (usually white, but this time black) should be hanged. Cripes sakes, maybe Henry Louis Gates was profiled just like I assumed from the start, but these folks need to visit the pokey. Say it ain' so, at my alma mater? Can it be? Yes, it is. Ouch again. Try going to work everyday at your job, knowing the folks who did this at your school now determine your professional prospects. Tell me it ain't so Joe! Or is that Madonna? Not canned here honey!!

Honestly, the writing in the Constantine article was alarmingly terrible.

Hey, we have no idea. But this disgruntled ex-employee says, "[Name] fired me because they're [racist/profit-hungry/self-interested]. One time they called me [racist epithet/ineffective worker/unhelpful]." Since [institution] declined comment, we couldn't think of any way to verify whether or not this was true, which is why we gave it thirty-six inches of column space. But hey, we'll lend the article credibility by inserting ten pages of filler. [Ten pages of filler, mostly endless quotes, hearsay, and irrelevant phrases culled from other news articles. Written with thesaurus in hand.] Anyway, [institution] has a long history of bad behavior. In 1982, they [were accused of doing something in another Voice article]. Does this damage their credibility? "It sure does," says [disgruntled former employee]. Only time will tell. -- e.g.: The Voice's piece on the Strand, two months ago, which inexplicably doesn't appear on the web. Actual excerpt [note, not an actual excerpt]: "Does the Strand suck now? We think so, but not for any particular reason other than that their prices went up a little. Plus one of their employees made an unsubstantiated claim that they're racists. When asked to comment, the owners said 'Our rent went up. And we are not racists.' What a bunch of liars. Signed, Voice."
