What's with the Paparazzi?
Correction, "you're free." For the record, I just looked down and I am wearing sweat pants. Though I did shower today and they are fresh.— February 26, 2010 1:22 p.m.
What's with the Paparazzi?
I can’t believe that I registered for a Reader account, but this whole back and forth is just too effin funny. Jay, I’ve never met you personally, and for all I know you’re a peach of a man, but how is this blurb “fair and balanced” like you state, if a) you only have ONE side of the story, and b) the quotes that you do include in said piece are in fact lifted from Ms. Canales’ blog. I mean come on, man…it’s as easy as hitting the “contact” button in her page. Not to mention, you can point fingers all you what and nag about CityBeat (one word), but seriously, you have NO say over what images go along with your column at all? Who does then? Maybe some frustrated intern who thought lifting a [not so-flattering deodorant gunk on her pits] shot from her personal MySpace profile would be “edgy.” Well…maybe Reader edgy. Regardless, all pics should be credited. I’m blown away that someone of your experience is so loosey-goosy on a section that bears his name. “Bragging about mentioning a story in print FIRST being preferable to getting the story correct, balanced, and complete only illustrates the main problem at City Beat…” I’m not sure that Seth is bragging, but rather pointing out a truth. As far as “correct and balanced,” again I wonder if you subscribe to the Bill O’Reilly school of objectivity. Don’t even get me started on your “Touring Tijuana Bathrooms” piece that includes a bevy of uncredited pictures (though they do hyperlink to your personal Webshots account) but seriously dude, did you take them all? Not to mention half of the “disco style bars” you mention (oddly enough without hyphenating the first two words) on your nut have long since expired. Be honest, when was the last time you went to Zka or Baby Rock (if ever)? 15 years ago? Just because it’s an over the border subject, doesn’t mean your free of fact checking. News flash” People in Tijuana pick up the Reader as well. I did in when I was a kid, and so did my mom. You also owe that readership sector a hefty dose of the professionalism you so boast about in your rant. To reiterate, this is not an attack. Just a very honest critique that I do hope you can take at face value. Unlike oh-so-many day old sweat pants wearing dudes who get their kicks by anonymously trashing either outlet, I’m proud to say that I am a CityBeat columnist (hopefully not one of the “lesser contribs” you mention; though really, who cares?), And I am using my real identity. And while it is admirable for all parties involved to be proud of their respective outlets, comparing the SD Reader to NASA is perhaps a true testament to the effects of asbestos poisoning. When was the time that building was tested?— February 26, 2010 1:10 p.m.
