The Daily Pulp: Hippie Freaks, Evil Twins, and Dangerous Feds
http://thedailypulp.blogspot.com/2006/03/hippie-freaks-evil-twins-and-dangerous.html
Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Monday, March 20, 2006. Hippie Freaks, Evil Twins, and Dangerous Feds. Both the Herald and Sentinel sent reporters out yesterday to cover a local protest on the third anniversary of the Iraq War. And both articles, by Vanessa Blum in the Sentinel, and Shannon Pease and Carli Teproff in the Herald, seemed pretty solid, although the Herald described the protest as having "several hundred" in attendance while the Sentinel minimized it as only "about 200.". In the...

The Daily Pulp: A Kane or a Crutch?
http://thedailypulp.blogspot.com/2006/03/kane-or-crutch.html
Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Tuesday, March 21, 2006. A Kane or a Crutch? We've been having a little fun with reporters' repititions lately, from Dan Le Batard's prediliction for repeating the same phrases to Palm Beach Post writer Leslie Gray Streeter's fancy of the word "yummy." Here's a new one:. Buddy Nevins' chronic use of the words "Jim Kane.". In a Sunday story. Dara Kam of the Palm Beach Post does a great job. V Is For Vendetta At FLPD. I missed a great crime story. In the Sentine...

Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Friday, March 17, 2006. You Have The Right To Remain Juiced.

Of a Miami cop for buying and selling steroids and the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis. Today, the Sentinel's Peter Franceschina writes about 13 West Palm Beach police officers.

Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Friday, March 17, 2006. Le Batard Leaks In The Pulp. I can't get serious right now. I just had a good lunch with a good source, March Madness is maddening (I just lost my first Elite 8 team, Iowa, on a last second three from the baseline), it's St. Patrick's Day, a. Nd it's the end of the damn week. Reporter folk, it's time to celebrate life a little. BEST MIAMI HERALD WRITER TO SPRING A LEAK. Thus was born one man’s love affair with a verb. By spring the budd...

The Daily Pulp: Jimenez Impeaches DBR
http://thedailypulp.blogspot.com/2006/03/jimenez-impeaches-dbr.html
Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Wednesday, March 22, 2006. There's an interesting little brouhaha going on between former U.S. Attorney Marcos Jimenez and the Daily Business Review. Reporter Julie Kay wrote a story about Jimenez's remarks concerning the Bush Administration's warrantless wiretapping. He mentioned the I word in regards to Dubya and has been trying to live it down ever since. You can get into the guts of the thing at The Southern District of Florida blog. John D. MacDonald.

The Daily Pulp: Never Trust A Guy Named Molehead
http://thedailypulp.blogspot.com/2006/03/never-trust-guy-named-molehead.html
Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Thursday, March 16, 2006. Never Trust A Guy Named Molehead. Palm Beach Post reporter Rochelle E.B. Gilken reminds us. Why we should all wish to be put on the Belle Glade beat. I mean where else would a mayoral candidate get arrested for trying to keep some hothead named "Molehead" from harassing his daughter? On election night, no less. It's a real place for real people and today Gilken did a wonderful job telling us about it. As New Times went to press Tuesda...

The Daily Pulp: The Herald's Copout
http://thedailypulp.blogspot.com/2006/03/heralds-copout.html
Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Thursday, March 23, 2006. On the homeless beating case today, the Herald's Nikki Waller and Sara Olkon led with sort of a Kitty Genovese. Approach, highlighting the fact that "several people passed up opportunities to find help and possibly save" Norris Gaynor from the baseball bat-wielding teens who killed him. To get the Parkland man's name, you have to read the Sentinel's story. The newspaper also failed to name a 16-year-old who went along for the ride wit...

The Daily Pulp: For the Love of the Game
http://thedailypulp.blogspot.com/2006/03/for-love-of-game.html
Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Wednesday, March 22, 2006. For the Love of the Game. Rushed today because I'm on deadline (yeah, I'm still trying to hold down a newspaper job myself), but I have to give the Story of the Day to Sara Olkon for her story about Tank Carter. Posted by Florida Pulp at 7:23 AM. I sense, perhaps, a bit of Super Bowl envy on the part of Stanton Kaplan. Can you picture it? Five years is too good for him! He also has a history of overriding jury recommendations to mete...

The Daily Pulp: Visible Lies
http://thedailypulp.blogspot.com/2006/03/visible-lies.html
Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Wednesday, March 15, 2006. No wonder Larry Masters is homeless. The poor fellow was sent off to Vietnam to become a tunnel rat - one of the most dangerous and traumatic duties in that horrible war - when he was just 14-years-old. Or maybe, just maybe, he duped the Sun-Sentinel in one of the most common tricks played on reporters: The ol' fake Vietnam Vet con. That was published in the Sunday paper. Larry Masters, who is 51 years-old, told this story. Actually,...

The Daily Pulp: Whoray For Hollywood
http://thedailypulp.blogspot.com/2006/03/whoray-for-hollywood.html
Messages on the Messengers in South Florida. Monday, March 20, 2006. It's known as "community journalism," but more often than not it's just pimping out reporters to governments, towns, and businesses. In the Miami Herald, it's called "Neighbors," but this weekend it should have been called "Prostitutes.". This Hollywood gets it right for residents". Hollywood has finally found 'its sense of place'". Lede: "OK, what's not to love about downtown Hollywood? Here's the text of one of them:. I read the entir...
