I wrote Ms. Malkin (posted earlier). I mentioned that I was a tramp printer in the 50's and 60's and developed a real respect, if not affection for the "Fourth Estate". There were REAL journalists in those days, and I deplored the level to which they had sunk, judging by today's examples.
She replied -- "I agree completely with your observation about the deterioration of the press. I've been in the newspaper business for more than a half-dozen years. My first summer job was at the Atlantic City (NJ) Press, where I worked as an inserter. The profession -- run by half-wits and cowards --sapped my spirits and energy. The Internet has been an incredible force for bypassing the middling middlemen who controlled the flow of information. Thanks for your kind and cogent comments. Thanks especially for reading JWR [Jewish World Review], the best on the 'Net.
Regards,
Michelle Malkin"
Before I posted this, because she mantioned names, I asked her permission to print her
reply. She quickly fired back - "No, not at all! I don't mind any mention of my past employers. It can be hellish, but it can also be hellishly fun.".
Like one poster said, a Class Act. I'd like to know this feisty lady.
