That isn't true, actually. We had the story early Friday and, in fact, we knew it was coming because we blogged about it on Thursday!

Here's the timestamp on the bottom of your link:

June 9, 2006 5:55 PM

By 5:55 we had had the story up for at least four hours.

In fact, here's the timestamp on my blog comment about the name:

Interstate seven choose a name, front page.

Who cares? Let him link to a different newspaper!

I'm ok with that. What I'm not OK with is him slamming our coverage based on a false assumption. We had the story first, and it's his fault he missed it, not ours.

But frankly, I'm sick and tired of people not reading the front page. We have a lot of news and put a lot of work into our news coverage. People should take advantage of it rather than skipping to the message board and remaining clueless.

I see his stupid comment re: basketball, but I am still missing where he slammed the website.

This one.

[NEPAFAN]

Fair enough.



But who cares? people are going to slam your site, my advice is the hands off approach.

[Pat Coleman]

That's fine -- if they want to slam the site, however, they should find an accurate reason to do so. We aren't perfect, but I'm not going to take crap for something we got right.

[cold_case]

Terriffic. Now that Catholic took an easy path, the front page will be blistered with Interstate Seven info, along with that one conference that's loaded with Virginia schools. Ohhhhhhhhh brother.

first off pat what exactly did i say you did not get right??? Pls enlighten me oh mighty one?  Next off  I would expect a media person to get HIS facts correct that time stamp is when phillyburbs ran it on their newswire not when the story actually broke and ran. So again what is it that was incorrect? actually sounds more like sour grapes than anything else. As you like to say "its not our fault he missed it...." again i did NOT miss it, I merely put it in the message board to spark a little conversation. I cant help it your p.o.'d that people are not reading your news and website for information. I would beg to differ on who actually is clueless here....

Prove it. I proved my half of the story.

I also went to Google News, sorted by date, and the timestamp on the PR wire release posting was 3 p.m. That was the second-oldest story in the system -- the oldest did not have a time stamp on it. However, the second-oldest story was posted two hours after ours, so it's highly unlikely that "multiple newswires had the story out hours before d3."

Anything else?

answer the question pat...nuff said....

I guess I'll have to re-repeat myself. You said multiple newswires posted the story before we did. That is wrong.

[PBR...]

Your quote is "i am not going to take crap for something we got right..." hmppffff.....please show me where i said you got it wrong and missed your facts?
