It would appear that The Virginian-Pilot is getting desperate to sell their paper product. Beginning Monday, June 8, Kerry Dougherty and Mike Gruss will concentrate their online work on their PilotOnline.com blogs. And you’ll now find their columns only in The Virginian-Pilot. -=SOURCE=- They have taken their “A” List columnists, Kerry [...]
Ok. The online arm of the Virginian-Pilot has out done itself this time. With one of the most idiotic poll questions I think I have ever seen online. Screenshot: Well, Pilot Online. No. They should continue to use as much out of date data as possible just so they can screw up the money count even more. [...]
UPDATE: It would appear that a Virginian-Pilot editor has taken on the illustrious Senator Louise Lucas. While I used the assinine lawsuit she filed against the city and compared it to the compensation city workers are losing, this writer has taken it to the streets. 1 dollar for ever citizen in Portsmouth. Outrage is justified. Even in a good econ [...]
First off, Main Stream Media is fast becoming…. well NOT. But that’s a different post.

After 15 years as a police officer, 10 of which as a Forensics Technician (CSI), I have seen the most gruesome, awful, gross images you can imagine. Or maybe you can’t. I couldn’t before I saw them myself. Some of these images were caused by another sub-human, some were caused by industrial accidents. Accidents. Such appears to be t [...]
Twice in one day I’ve heard about the pending layoffs and cut backs at the Virginian-Pilot, Hampton Road’s primary print media source. I had lunch today with a former employee. He mentioned the pending doom. Then this evening, I get an email from another former writer for The Pilot, John-Henry Doucette. He wrote a blog entry discussing [...]
