I appreciate the SA Presidential candidates so heavily engaging in our GWBlogSpot online debate (see: lefthand sidebar) and showing their support for student media other than The Hatchet.However, not as much can be said for our school's "independent newspaper."
I was disappointed to see that Hatchet Reporter Emily Cahn's story regarding campaign complaints against Kyle Boyer did not reference The GW Patriot, the student-run media outlet which broke the story in the first place.
Our own Andrew Perez gave extensive credit to The GW Patriot in his post on the subject.
Props to The GW Patriot for breaking a great story. Thumbs up to Andrew for giving them credit for doing so. Shame on The Hatchet for their willful ignorance of other campus media.

Thanks for the credit, guys, but I'm OK with not having my name all over the Hatchet (at least in this case).

So you were dissing on the GW Hatchet for removing comments from their articles (by reviewing them before they got posted)....so what's up with the Comment Deleted by a "blog administrator?" Hypocrites ...
In the interest of transparency, a comment reflecting an off-the-record conversation with the GW Hatchet was removed. The comment was posted by a blogger at GWBlogspot -- not anyone critical of GWBlogspot -- and removed by GWBlogspot.
Hypocrite claim: debunked.
That's not me ...haha. Thank you for the response/clarification Adam Green.
Agreed with anonymous above, this blog really doesn't get it. Must be nice to get a grade for this work when so many students like those working at Hatchet and Patriot do it out of a sincere desire for accountability and transparency. Would be nice if you did more than cite a Hatchet or Washington Post article, ramble out some unoriginal ideas and call it journalism. Almost forgot to mention throw up a Facebook group and call it advocacy, but wouldn't want to diminish the work you guys do.
What's with the scare quotes? Are you trying to start a fight?
