I was probably too hard on the reporter.<br /><br />I can even envision a situation where after getting the call from the reporter, the archbishop, knowing what's coming, has a talk with someone in the Journal hierarchy.<br /><br />But the way the Journal shields the governor, as was pointed out here recently, to the extent of not even covering some things, it's not unreasonable to believe they'd try to shield the archbishop from the consequences of what is essentially a political struggle in which the church clergy is a participant.<br /><br />And of course the reporter wouldn't have the same contacts as Jim, who, if he were to tell everything he knew might come home from playing golf one morning to find his house missing.<br /><br />By the way, Jim, if that does happen, about the only thing you can do at that point is head back to the golf course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-35293946143915082282014-01-19T10:08:53.155-07:002014-01-19T10:08:53.155-07:00My experience with the journal is the editors remo...My experience with the journal is the editors removing important background information from stories written by journalists. The reporter is banned from putting the deleted information back. It is a very frustrating process because the by-line remains as if the reporter approved the final version. After this happens enough times, the good reporters leave. Then they are prohibited from speaking about it lest their future careers are impacted. Given your history in journalism, I am sure you can empathize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-2703346246269457362014-01-19T00:05:51.165-07:002014-01-19T00:05:51.165-07:00What an excellent post.

A good editor would have made him get something, anything.<br /><br />Your background gives a vivid sense of what the place is and was (lacking too from the Journal). Even the devout, God-fearing Catholic knows church is where the babes are. The ones you want to take home to meet mom and dad, eventually.<br /><br /><br />But yes it's always about sex with the conservatives. Women not paying mens' price for their actions (re abortion), and women not bowing down to their menfolk (re actually speaking in church). A good reporter would be in Santa Fe tomorrow laying for the archbishop when he emerges from his chamber and starts waving his sceptre around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
