"So this is how blogs work now. Roch asks a question and instead of answering it so everyone can see the answer, Bryan Clarey telephones Roch the answer but the rest of the world is left to wonder what the answer is?
Oh yeah, real good journalism there, Brian, real good journalism." -My comment at Yes! Weekly That is, unless they delete it.
"I called him and told him the answers to his questions like a minute after he posted them." -Brian Clarey's e-mail response to me.
So according to Brian, Roch knows but the rest of us, perhaps hundreds or thousands who might someday read that blog post, are left to draw our own conclusions.
And they wonder why the general public no longer trusts the media. Yes! Weekly has gone main stream.
Some questions I e-mailed Brian Clarey that he hasn't the balls to answer:
"Just because 1 cop labeled Marikay a CI does not make it so. Does GPD have any requirements for being a CI? http://www.fas.org/irp/agency/doj/fbi/dojguidelines.pdf Did you bother to fucking ask?
Did you ask the cops if THEY actually sent those e-mails?
Did you interview anyone other than Marikay when you didn't even have the balls to ask her the question until she prompted you to spit it out as you were interviewing her on a different subject altogether?"
Marikay Abuzuaiter has been the target of death threats from Eric Ginsburg's anarchist friends and/or others. Responsible editors and journalists do not put people's lives at risk in order to sensationalize a story. Blaming the City of Greensboro and the Greensboro Police Department isn't good enough. If Eric is too young and dumb to realize these things then Brian, as Editor of Yes! Weekly, should have been able to recognize the pit falls.
Fact is: going back to his days as a writer for the Greensboro News & Record, Brian Clarey always wanted to make the stories about Brian Clarey. It's a fault a lot of us deal with, a fault I admittedly deal with. The difference is: I'm not a journalist or an editor, and when I place someone's life on the line it is only my own life.
I will be expecting a front page retraction in Yes! Weekly in the very near future. If not by Brian Clarey and Eric Ginsburg then by their soon to be named replacements. Placing the lives of our citizens at risk is not acceptable behavior for any newspaper. I know it, you know it and Brian Clarey knows it.
