A.P. Screws The Pooch on Anna Nicole Smith News

When covering a story like the death of Anna Nicole Smith, who are you going to trust more? A bedrock of American journalism like the Associated Press? Or a sleazy upstart tabloid gossip website like TMZ.com

I know who I’d put my money on.

Memo to the A.P. – Don’t try and cover stories that you have no real expertise in. Leave it to the big boys

  1. She is the American sleeze press version of “Lady Di.” And they are proving every minute that none have learned anything from the Duke Rape Hoax rush to judgment case. A pathetic “celebrity” of no accomplishment has killed herself. Period. Move on.

  2. Duke: Totally agree. Sad story, too bad; pray for the daughter and move on.

  3. Agreed.

    On the other hand isn’t it sort of refreshing that we have two men arguing over their parental responsibilities.

    “She’s mine! I’ll support her!”

    “No, she’s mine!”

    Too bad that isn’t the norm.

    Sounds like a sitcom concept. What’s Greg Evigan doing these days?

    Are they arguing over parental responsibilities, or over money that comes with the child?

  6. Okay, what does “screw the pooch” mean? I’ve heard it so many times but honestly don’t know.

  7. I once used “screw the pooch” in a blog comment, but nobody understood what it meant. I guess I really screwed the pooch.

  8. Bernard Goldberg said on Fox the other night that this story was being covered as though a “head of state” had died. He’s right. This wall-to-wall coverage is beyond ridiculous.

    It should stop NOW. Update us as the details become available with the cause of death, the paternity results, and the custody of the baby, because I imagine people want to know. All this 24 hour fill-in tripe is maddening.

  11. It’s obvious that e.t. ransacked Anna’s house and stoled all of the footage.–Unbeleivable but true!!! Where did all of this recent and vintage coverage so suddenly appear from? How dare they squabble about where Anna’s realm is finally laid to peace? While observing the recent footage which was aired on E.T. Feb,18/07, E.T.aires of Anna expressing her emotional, apparent connection with her mother which Anna, herself explains that her mother has no feeling’s for her, never did –so Why? would her mother have the right to bury Her? Enough Already!!! Please bury the poor girl!!! She’s been used and abused. It’s a discusting thought of what they are doing to her body. She was heart broken by her son’s death and she hasn’t really been in the media for quite some time until now!! makes you wonder why? Probably cause the media stole everything from her home. I beleive Stern,, I didn’t at first —but it all came together after watching E.T. –Their all making money!!! It’s apparent & discusting. I condemn the exploitation of Anna’s existence and she deserves a proper burial just like anyone else & as she wished,,beside her son–not her self confessed publicized wretched mother.!!

  12. i am sure that that is just a lie! Howard probably said someone broke into the home, only because he has something else planned, what ever it is IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK! until the police arrest howard, he needs to worry about getting a JOB!!
