Trish Regan had a good start as a news reporter on economic issues. In the clip from her show now, I assume, she makes the claim of a murder rate in D.C. of 41 per 100,000. But, stats I looked up said the murder rate in D.C. was 26 per 100,000. A difference of 15,000. There is also the fact that Trish Regan was terminated from Fox News for her claim that Denmark was as bad as Venezuela, which also was soundly refuted. Her attempts to correct her remarks after the furious backlash to her show was so feeble that it brought about her dismissal from Fox News. How can anyone believe her about D.C. murder rates? Dismissed from Fox News doesn’t look good on a resumé.
Unfortunately, reality in D.C. favors Trish's reporting over that of the MSM reports - it is not the first time stats about DC security, or lack of it, have been manipulated. This month alone, there have been FOUR deaths and multiple attacks, one of which was an an ABCNews reporter. Another was on a WH employee. D.C. at the local government level has proven itself to be corrupt time and time again. Trump warned of bringing in the NG and though the figures from the local sources say they were down, the figures from local morgues and hospitals said otherwise.
AS for being dismissed from a Murdock corporation, that no longer holds the stigma it once did. Many who have left FN have seen their career growth accelerate, not decline.
I never gave Fox News any credibility. That is exactly why one has to be really bad to be dismissed by them. Up to her strange news report on Denmark, she seemed on track to become a Fox News star. Which is not a high honor among “real” news media. Fox News is the TV version of Tabloid Journalism. To get fired by them, one has to aim for the bottom. There motto should be “There isn’t a story we can’t slant to the right.”
Sorry to say, but I don’t get my figures from the MSM. I get them from allegedly real fact sources. If official sources misrepresent the facts, that is on them.
Ms. Regan, however, seems to have caught the Fox News Virus, where news is fairy tale time. The shame is to be caught telling such a tall tale that it brings a big backlash, from all sides. Then fumbling the apology so badly that Fox News (often referred to as Faux News) had to take Ms. Regan off the air and subsequently drop her show. It’s sad to see. She had such a great start on other News shows, but Fox News just isn’t about news, it’s about sensationalism. And she went too far, even for Fox. It’s a Rupert Murdoch paper. And Murdoch began as a publisher of a sensationalist tabloid. He just can’t seem to change his style. It works too well for Murdoch financially.
An "is on them" attitude is only feeding the rumor mill and avoids accountability and responsibility for what is being pumped out (and why social media is what it is today and robbing it's potential of becoming a very valuable tool). Whatever your feelings are about Trish Regan, you felt a need to make it public out here. Congratulations.
You’re right, the “is on them” is feeding the rumor mill. Which is why I don’t trust the MSM for a factual report. Any more than I trust the Trump Administration to give any factual information to the press. There are very few good, investigative journalists anymore. And, sorry to day, Trish Regan, just like so many newspeople these days, are just not investigative journalists. Being an investigative journalist is a tough job. One has to have the hide of an elephant, a very skeptical attitude, be fearless and be prepared to be reviled by half or more of the population. They also have to report the truth no matter where it takes them. Newsmen like that are very scarce these days. I worked for a chain of weekly and bi-weekly newspapers in the mid-50s. We had two tough investigative journalists on staff. I knew them both. I worked in the composing room and I set the type for many of their stories and discussed the stories with them. One of them edited a community newspaper. He became suspicious of certain things going on in the local government. He began his own investigation and determined that his suspicions were likely correct. He kept on the story for weeks, assembling the facts to back up his suspicions. He finally had all the evidence and wrote the story. The publisher killed the story. The editor said everything was fully researched and was true. He told the publisher to let the story run or he would resign. Publisher refused. The editor resigned. A week later the city daily broke the story. City Council member and the mayor were arrested. The local newspaper was scooped and embarrassed. Months later the local paper tried to hire him back and he said he would only return if he didn’t have to edit a paper. They hired him back as Executive Sports Editor of all the papers. He continued to scope out irregularities here and there, but he handed off his conversations to other reporters, but never put his by line on anything but sports news after that. That is what an investigative reporter does. A real one, anyway. I lost track of him when I left the news papers, but I always hoped that he found a news organization that appreciated his talent. Reporters like him often put their lives on the line to bring a story out. Trish Regan should have stayed with economic reporting. She is not ready and possibly never will be, to be an investigative reporter. That’s nothing to be ashamed of. Don Boles, of the Arizona Republic was killed because of the story he was investigating. Somebody wired his car. Not the line of work for every reporter.
