Posted by admin / Under Erwin Popper
Mysterious Group Buys Building Next to Ground Zero For Mosque Wednesday, December 16, 2009 Jim Hoft A mysterous Muslim group with unknown sponsors has purchased a building steps away from Ground Zero. Hudson New York reported: An identified group with unknown sponsors has purchased building steps away from where the WorldTrade Center once stood — to turn it into potentially one of the largest New York City mosques. At the moment the building, the old Burlington Coat Factory, already serves as a mini-mosque: an iron grill lifts every Friday afternoon for a little known Imam leading prayers a few yards...

Erwin Chemerinsky: Legislating Violations of the Constitution
Posted by admin / Under Erwin Popper
Special to washingtonpost.com With little public attention or even notice, the House of Representatives has passed a bill that undermines enforcement of the First Amendment's separation of church and state. The Public Expression of Religion Act - H.R. 2679 - provides that attorneys who successfully challenge government actions as violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment shall not be entitled to recover attorneys fees. The bill has only one purpose: to prevent suits challenging unconstitutional government actions advancing religion. A federal statute, 42 United States Code section 1988, provides that attorneys are entitled to recover compensation for their fees...

Major Journalism Scandal at Sacramento Paper - (Bee didn't learn from NYT Jason Blair fictions)
Posted by admin / Under Erwin Popper
As more comes to light about Diane Griego Erwin, the former Sacramento Bee columnist, the more revealing and instructive the story becomes. It is a story we mentioned in a recent Media Monitor, but much more has come to light. In one sense, it is another validation for the New Media, specifically the blogs; and for another, it shines a light on problems related to diversity in the newsrooms, when diversity strictly refers to skin color. It also spells potential big trouble for the Sacramento Bee editor, Rick Rodriguez, the new president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE)....

Bee publishes results of Griego Erwin probe (43 fake sources)
Posted by admin / Under Erwin Popper
From Jan. 1, 2004, until her final column on April 26, Griego Erwin wrote 171 columns. The Bee's investigation found 30 names in 27 separate columns that could not be verified during that time period. The people could not be found in voter registration rolls, property records, telephone books, identity databases or through scores of phone calls. In light of those findings, the review expanded to include a sampling of columns spanning her 12-year tenure with the newspaper, and 13 additional cases in another 10 columns were found. Many of the columns in question fit a template: essays, often with...

Bee's Griego Erwin Case May Dwarf the Jayson Blair Scandal-(worse journalistic fraud!)
Posted by admin / Under Erwin Popper
Remember that much-publicized Jayson Blair case at the New York Times, in which a coddled reporter was found to have been making up facts for his newspaper stories? Jayson Blair's actions were greatly deplored and led to his firing and the resignation of his editor. Now, the Sacramento Bee in my hometown, finds that it has had on its staff a columnist whose journalistic inventions over her twelve years of employment may dwarf those of Jayson Blair. The liberal Sacramento Bee reported on Sunday, June 26, that its investigation of columnist Diana Griego Erwin's politically correct, three-times-a-week, human-interest columns reveal...

Boycott Erwin Chemerinsky
Posted by admin / Under Erwin Popper
Today Hugh Hewitt had Erwin Chemerinsky on his fine radio talk show. The discussion centered around the shamful oped piece in today's LA Times where Erwin blasted the US for violating international law for G'itmo detainees, the war on Iraq, etc. I see this as more hate America talk and basically providing aid and comfort to an enemy who may very well use this article from a prominent US lawyer in it's propaganda war. I encourage everyone to voice their displeasure with Hugh in giving Mr. Chemerinsky a platform to voice his anti-American views. I for one have told Mr....
