To save you from googling: Bartley Kives, son of Philip Kives of K-tel International fame, is a reporter for the Free Press. As such, Marty Gold assumes Bartley has the inside scoop on Pork Gate (and possibly a freezer full of Pork himself), leading to the tangent that the comments on PF's blog went off on.cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-16719781935987649122009-03-01T15:12:00.000-06:002009-03-01T15:12:00.000-06:00I'd like to say that I don't see it as "selling ou...I'd like to say that I don't see it as "selling out" at all. It's not that the Frogger switched sides, it's more like a promotion. <BR/><BR/>You know, something that should be congratulated? <BR/><BR/>A blogger has graduated from the underground to a place where the voice will carry. How many CJOB listeners know who PF is, or read any blogs at all? <BR/><BR/>Frogger will get his one week of (deserved) fame, then Vic will come back and instead of subjecting ourselves to his shitty and often ignorant/shortsighted commentary, we'll all go back to visiting PF on a daily basis. <BR/><BR/>As a side note I think this is indicative of society at large...somebody works hard and moves up in the world, and everyone laments him for it.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940646111715304357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-81092663658459308172009-03-01T12:34:00.000-06:002009-03-01T12:34:00.000-06:00@ Cherenkov,I mean no disrespect: But who is this ...@ Cherenkov,<BR/><BR/>I mean no disrespect: But who is this Mr. Kives and why does everybody keep referencing him?Scott MacNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068618008170891557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-6548690131820011712009-03-01T11:31:00.000-06:002009-03-01T11:31:00.000-06:00FA: You're really Bartley Kives, aren't yo...FA: You're really Bartley Kives, aren't you?

I don't see it as any different than a national paper picking up a regional column and running it while their guy is on vacation. How would that destroy the "cred" of the local columnist ?<BR/><BR/>A good point was made at PF that the people whining "sell out" have all probably written a letter to the editor or posted in the comments section on the Globe or CBC and seem fine with their direct contact with MSM. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to think that a good side effect of having an 'info / opinion blog' (and, in turn, a network of them) provides commentary and info that gets people thinking. If the rule is that MSM must keep their nose out and the only people that should be privy to that info are others who read blogs all day that would a sad thing IMO.Christian Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691310860448400887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-5697712352961972202009-02-28T23:22:00.000-06:002009-02-28T23:22:00.000-06:00Well said Peanut.
