When Discredited Hacks Attack

Tue, May 13, 2008 at 6:48:53 pm PST

St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Tim Townsend has penned a thoroughly predictable hit piece for the thoroughly biased Columbia Journalism Review, whining about the poor treatment he received at the hands of anonymous internet commenters when he was exposed as a shill for the Saudi-funded radical Islamic front group calling itself the Council on American Islamic Relations: CJR: Love Thy Neighbor.

Please note that Townsend was also exposed as a fraud and a liar, earlier this year, when he wrote an entirely fictional article for the Post-Dispatch describing the horrible tribulations of a homeless woman who did not exist, leading to an apology from his employer—but no corrective action to prevent further fraud, of course.

And Townsend fails to mention that his employer also posted a correction to his smear piece about LGF.

Welcome to the mainstream media, in the 21st century.

Besides being called ignorant, arrogant, balding, stupid, rude, fat (my new nickname was Burger Boy), lazy, and incompetent, I was depicted as a Satanic baby. My mother was insulted. I was accused of lying about my academic degrees, having a comb-over, being a paid agent of the Saudi government, and acquiring “numerous social diseases.” I was, apparently, a plagiarist and a terrorist. Someone did a search to see if I was a pedophile. Others stuck with more generalized invective:

Tim Townsend—you’re a smarmy little fuck, aren’t you?

Townsend really should have checked on Dan Rather’s career before he messed with Charles.

This guy hasn't wandered very far from St. Louis, or maybe he just didn't keep his eyes open. If his understanding of intolerance is measured by rude comments online, maybe he should try to interview some Catholic schoolgirls in Indonesia, or some teachers in Thailand. Perhaps a trip to Jaipur to look at body parts might broaden his horizons, and help him to know what 'intolerance' really means..

More on Tim's latest mess

In "A Time to Renew Hope," which appeared on the front page of the Post's March 23 edition, Gillis related to Townsend how in 2005 her husband burned down their house and later slashed her throat. After the trauma, she told Townsend, she ended up homeless, only to eventually find a new life as head chef at Centenary CARES, an outreach program run by Centenary United Methodist Church downtown.

problem was..

• The woman's name, according to her mother, is Pamala Brown.

• She is 51, not 42.

• She is wanted for violating probation on bad-check writing and forgery charges.

• Law-enforcement officials in Jefferson County can find no record of the purported throat slashing.

"In short," write the editors, "this story did not meet our standards for publication."

That is probably a lie.

Well, there are after all a lot of readers who are not registered posters. I doubt many or any of the posters would bother. Can't really speak for the lizard lurkers.

Witness the morally depraved moral equivalence of the MSM's Religion writers.

And from the CJR's mission statement:
"Columbia Journalism Review’s mission is to encourage and stimulate excellence in journalism in the service of a free society. It is both a watchdog and a friend of the press in all its forms (even fake news!) , from newspapers to magazines to radio, television, and the Web."

I'm reminded of Portnoy's Complaint. (No, I won't explain.)

Ha!

I wonder what "personal questions about their most profound thoughts and hopes" he'd ask of Raelians?

re: #76 Charles

There was no address posted here -- and if there was, it was deleted within minutes.

He's lying.

He's a reporter. His e-mail address is probably on his newspaper's web page. It would take two minutes for anybody to find it.

In fact, this page tells you how to contact anyone who works for the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch.

Come to think about it...wasn't it the original Raelian logo (swastika in star of David) posted on that anti-Israel article at Kos a few threads down?

re: #116 MandyManners

That was just one of those gut busters at precisely the right moment.
Also, it reminds me of one of my colleagues... gonna have to show everyone else, we are always wondering where he got the monkey he brings in to do his work for him when no one else is looking. He is a half assed sort. This will cheer the rest up.

A religion reporter who can't spell "pentecostal"? And an editor who didn't catch it at CJR? Sheesh.
