One thing that CSU staff does really well is circle the wagons and defend the organization at all costs.
Well what do you expect Sam you have the biggest joke for a reporter Chacon doing this blog. You need to get a life Chacon. I realize you are a Pam ZUbeck want to be but you are really just showing what a pathetic excuse for a human being you are.
P.S. Not the AP, heck the Gazette is not even on par with an elementary school bulletin.
DHuskie,
So, how do you really feel?
Daniel
DHuskie,
So if you think the Gazette and Mr. Chacon are rubbish what does that say for Ms. Rummel and CSU?
The AP is a co-op of participating newspapers, including the Gazette. Although it has a small reporting staff, by far the largest number of stories to “move on the wire” come from those independent members. So Daniel Chacon and Debbie Kelley, and a lot of others, are the AP.
Any pr person who doesn’t understand this needs to take a course in media relations — and return phone calls in a timely fashion without prejudging the nature of the inquiry. It’s in your own self interest to be as factual and forthcoming as possible. Fewer surprises down the road when people find out whatever the item is. They always do.
Make ‘em howl, Daniel. You know you’re getting to them when they get all defensive. Bunch of jerks!
You get no respect Chacon because you a spin liar and have no morals or ethics. You feed into the trash life owes me a living crowd spinning up their ignorant anger towards city workers with inaccurate stories and stories that do not tell the whole truth. You are too stupid to realize that the world has become so polarized with city and government workers bearing the brundt of anger from people who refuse to look into the mirror to find the blame for why they are where they are at or why they have failed. There is already violence in this city towards city workers and you and your paper are playing a part in it. When the day comes that one of these ignorant trash people really do harm I hope you and your paper can live with the lies and deceipt that comes from you mouth and onto paper.
