Building news! When will we have it? What will it be? Can the hard-hitting journalists rake muck for thee?
ReplyDeleteFor the love of pete, willya move to Arkansas or something! Better yet, get a life, or at least a new song. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteNo muck-raking yet, I see.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to rake muck, move to the Meadowlands. Grin.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, where is Charlie Nutt right now? HA!
Come on with the hard hitting building stuff already
ReplyDeleteIf all this building crap doesn't effect you or make you sick why worry about it or expect that it is a big enough to do a hard hitting story about?
ReplyDeleteCome on guys we have more important things to worry about then the rantings of some whistleblowing asshole.Any word on the merger yet?or the home delivery issue.
ReplyDeleteIs Charlie Nutt in trouble?
ReplyDeleteAll the newspaper carriers in Neptune NJ at the Asbury Park Press were given a 30 day notice that the contract with the APP will be terminated as of May 3 RD
ReplyDeleteIf they chose to interview for a route with PCF they are welcome to apply and sign a new lower priced contract. AC
Charlie Nutt is doing well following his gastric bypass surgery.
ReplyDeleteNJ Times broke a huge story today in APP's backyard: immigrant detainee held in Monmouth County jail died of heart attack two years; death totally covered up (and some details not known to this day). Guy had symptoms but nobody did anything -- reflects on medical treatment at the jail, which has been a problem in past. Number of deaths of detainees nationwide seems to be unclear. People are being taken away and never heard from again -- Ain't it great to be in a freedom loving capitalist society!
ReplyDeleteThe Easter dining guide in the CN had an ad for Mccormick & Schmicks for Valentines Week.
ReplyDelete3:23pm
ReplyDeleteNo one really cares; it's not that big of a story.
I suggest you watch "Locked Up Aboard" to see how other countries treat their prison population.
What does the Calender Desk do?
ReplyDeleteAPP DM's, don't forget the only hand out you received at yesterday's 9:30 meeting. THE FLIER PROMOTING PCF. IT LISTED THEIR WEB SITE AND PHONE # TO CALL FOR JOB INTERVIEWS!!! Just another slap in the face to the now short termed employees. Just another way for gci to possibly save money by giving less severence packages!!! By the way, we don't even know what those packages will be but I guarantee you the senior vp and vp of circulation know and their not saying.
ReplyDeleteHey NJ Rocks. Do you have a pain in the neck today too???
ReplyDeleteMore from the C-N via its stellar sports section:
ReplyDeleteRutgers Lady Knights coach Vivian Stringer going into the Basketball Hall of Fame ... a scoop in the Star-Ledger, completely missed by the C-N
Jay Cutler, whom the Jets were trying to get, traded to Chicago ... blown off in passing within Jets puff piece at bottom of C-1
There is, however, plenty of room to kiss the Yankees' ass and brush off the complaints about their new taxpayer-funded Stadium. After all the C-N thinks the NFL is a minor sport.
WAKE UP APP DIST. MANAGERS. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT A LONG TERM DIST. MNGR WAS NOT IN THE 7:30 MEETING. PEOPLE IN THAT MEETING WERE GIVEN 1 WEEK SEVERANCE FOR EVERY YEAR THERE. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN OCTOBER WHEN MULTIPLE DM'S WITH 10, 15 AND 20 YEARS OF SERVICE ARE LET GO? THERE IS NO WAY WE WILL BE GETTING A PACKAGE OF 1 WEEK FOR EVERY YEAR WE'RE EMPLOYED!!! THE SR. VP AND VP OF CIRCULATION KNEW THAT BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO TELL US!!! WHY DO YOU THINK THEY WERE PUSHING PCF SO STRONGLY FOR US TO APPLY!!! IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE THIS OUT. I WONDER IF AHOY COULD EVEN FIGURE THIS OUT? YOUR RIGHT, SHE DIDN'T.
ReplyDeleteEveryone at the CN/HNT is waiting with baited breath about what the Jay Jefferson Cooke column will discuss tomorrow! It has been many weeks without hearing about Black the Cat! Of course, every other minute detail of his life has been rehashed numerous times. Let's do a special trivia quiz on this dude:
ReplyDeleteMother's name
Father's name
Religion
College Attended
Religious Group that taught him
in high school.
Brother's profession
Chiropractor's Name
Reference to Babbles
Latest Personal Example of Policy
Stereotyping and Brutality.
The evil of scratch-off lottery
tickets.
His last prostate exam
That lousey hospital in Philly
Why obesity causes diabetes
Boo-frickin'-hoo
Temple Univ. Cheerleading Squad
Nasty dear readers' messages
The Old Man's clutter
Poor people with credit cards
Why he wears all black-- slimming?
Why male boobs are sexy
Why he can't stand to sing the
National Anthem.
Why Philly is the best city on
earth.
Hey maybe those drunks in ad production can put a Christmas ad in the next Easter Dining Directory. At least they'd HAVE an excuse
ReplyDeleteCourier News is one quality rag!
ReplyDeleteUh, Chucky? You do realize that the Courier News doesn't cover pro sports, right? That'd be Westchester. The CN doesn't cover Rutgers either. That's the Home News' big beat.
ReplyDeletePoint the finger if you like, but make sure it's at the right Gannett paper.
C-N sports section is built in East Brunswick and shares material with the HNT, therefore the C-N got scooped on Vivian Stringer.
ReplyDeleteThe Jets play their home games in New Jersey and are on local TV in the C-N area. Not only that, the Jets moved their offices and practice field to New Jersey last year. Besides that puff piece came from AP.
