Patsy Brumfield writes about the Scruggs scandals two years on

Patsy Brumfield has a couple of tw0-years-on thumb sucking pieces about the Scruggs scandals in the Daily Journal today. One focuses on the state bar leadership with some notes about the law school graduates of the last two years, and the other on law professor Ben Cooper’s ethics class and their take on the scandals. Not much news or shedding of light.

“Not much news or shedding of light.”

Sounds like a Sunday Daily Journal. The Sunday edition is always lightweight concerning news, save sports. It is obvious the newspaper on that day is merely a vehicle to deliver advertising and, unfortunately, Tim Wildmon’s column. This is obvious when The Commercial Appeal or Clarion-Ledger scoops them on a Sunday or Monday (sometimes on Tupelo news). The most egregious was when an wasted Ole Miss frat boy killed officer Danny Langley early on a Saturday morning and all The Daily Journal had on Sunday was the Associated Press story. On page two.

Also nasty on their part is tripling the price of the newspaper on Thanksgiving day, yet drastically slashing the news content. Patsy Brumfield’s column that day noted that The Daily Journal does not have the same money pressures other newspapers do, since it is owned by the non-profit CREATE group. This, yet they triple the price and deliver an inferior product. George McLean would be disgusted.

it’s a term I’ve seen used for a story that’s done after the fact, long, sort of summarizing where things are without a lot of new reporting and heavy-ish on opinion.

I saw that article too while in Mississippi yesterday. No new news at all really. As a matter of fact, her timeline was spotty. Not really surprised tho. She does no investigative reporting. I’m not sure anybody on staff does.

Sounds like Alan Lange’s book too.

Have you seen it yet, bellesouth? I haven’t. A couple of reports told me they have, and it comes out tomorrow.

Didnt know where to post this. Breaking news. Jim Hood has convinced Heather Hudson, mayor of Greenville, to run for lt. governor instead of governor. Hood thinks this ticket, he as governor and she as lt. governor, will help his issues in the African American community, especially in the Delta. I don’t know if it will help or not. I dont think they can beat a Bryant/Pickering ticket, and there is no way Reeves beats Bryant.

What evidence is there to prove or suggest that the perpetrators went there to kill as opposed to the stated intent to sell a gun with Dr Smith's prints (as stated when the meeting was set)? Think abo ..

The difficulty with this theory in my opinion is one of perps was killed and he was not killed without of authority of law. In fact, he was shot by a law enforcement officer in commission of a crime. ..

After watching that video I think it should be clear to anyone that the so called “doctor” is really an alien imposter trying to frame Dr. Smith for the murder. We all know the aliens are working with ..
