Still waiting.

And more than one person here agrees with me on Street Sense. Are they negative too?

I have a question. Do you consider yourself a journalist?

I am absolutely, without question, NOT a journalist.

Would I like to be a journalist one day? I think so.

Ok then. Then I'm sorry for the comment about accountability. I blame Churchill for hiring an amateur to do a professional's job.

They hired me to do the job of "blogger". I reported no news whatsover, nor did I claim to report news. I reported my obseravations and thoughts on the road to the Derby, and stated that clearly. Again, I have to ask how I failed to meet any standards on accountability?

Be specific.

I apologized. I thought you were a journalist since they are held to higher standards. I totally overlooked the fact that Churchill is notorious for cutting corners and hiring cheap help.
