DISQUS

Gustavo Arellano · 2 years ago

Guillermo: You can appreciate better than anyone the mutual respect involved in correctly attributing journalists when they first break a story--it's something you taught us well at the Weekly. In the spirit of that, I reported on Cunningham's idiocy last Friday. I trust this was an oversight on your part. Great new site!

G Pup: You're right: oversight. Thanks for linking your story.

Funny Gustavo should mention "correctly attributing journalists."

When the "Who Is Jubal" story came out, it was bylined by Paul Brennan. I even have e-mails from Paul Brennan with a list of follow-up questions to "his" story.

Now Will Swaim is claiming he wrote the story?

So let's see, Will. While you you chatting me up via friendly e-mail exchanges about the Harkey-Harman race, you were also typing out that article slamming me for the times I cross-linked to Jubal/OC blog posts when I posted on FlashReport -- and then you put someone else's byline on your story?

Either you did write the story but hid behind one of your writers, or Pat Brennan really did write it and you're now falsely taking credit for it.

Was that standard operating procedure during your tenure at the Weekly?
