It is unfortunate that he was not included among the FP's recent staff layoffs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-83956613781766118862012-12-29T18:14:45.447-06:002012-12-29T18:14:45.447-06:00Given Bruce and Larry's continuous and egregio...Given Bruce and Larry's continuous and egregious display that they are afraid to challenge the NDP government and truly comprehend the issues facing the people of this province, it's no wonder they're two of the weakest reporters at the Winnipeg Free Press. <br /> <br />Christ, just read Bruce's 2012 "reflections" from Friday's paper -- the man has been the Leg now for how many years, and he needs a UM law prof to tell him there are tunnels beneath the building. This became, as Bruce put it, "a project to fill my extra time and still produce something for the paper" for the summer's slow news cycle. Again as Bruce puts it, it became "an almost full-time beat."<br /><br />Now he's working on historic plane crashes.<br /><br />"It's a rare day when anyone takes the time to make an earnest comment about something I've done."<br /><br />Gee, I wonder why Bruce.<br /><br />It's a damn shame they moved Bartley to "reporter at large" instead of throwing him into provincial politics (if he is even interested).<br /><br />Readers only get what the Free Press pays for. And we unfortunately get a lot of bullshit. Tunnels are cool, plane crashes are cool, history is cool. But that is general assignment fodder that need not be a distraction to high paid political reporters.<br /><br />/rant.<br /><br />WMWnoreply@blogger.com
