Phoenix rising: Banned Albemarle high school editorial re-published
Ellie Leech’s editorial, Student’s P.E. Groans Might Be Warranted, was too hot for publication in Albemarle High School’s (AHS) student newspaper, The Revolution. The controversial piece was printed, but the papers reportedly were destroyed prior to distribution, following complaints from some AHS physical education teachers. The subject of today’s lead editorial in the Daily Progress, [...]
Open trough: Charlottesville City’s $360M “free” lunch
Charlottesville City’s Director of Disinformation, Ric Barrick, is at it again. This time he’s promising something that never has existed: a “free” lunch. Barrick deceptively headlined his June 18, 2010 press release (see below), “Charlottesville Parks Department to Provide Free Lunch this Summer,” assuming that media outlets would “swallow” and “spit out whole” his pablum. [...]
Belmont blues: Embattled residents respond to Daily Progress reporting omissions
In an ongoing effort to provide a “voice to the voiceless” in Charlottesville, The Schilling Show Blog and News has committed to publishing materials refused for publication at other media outlets. In this case, an unpublished letter from Belmont residents to the Daily Progress responds to the newspaper’s May 29, 2010 story, “Charlottesville unaware it [...]
Dems, Dems everywhere, but not a voice to speak: Young Democrats AWOL from Schilling Show
Following months of spotty attendance and multiple abrupt cancellations, the Virginia Young Democrats (VAYD) have “pulled the plug” on their scheduled appearances on WINA’s The Schilling Show. The longstanding monthly segment featured a representative from the Jefferson Area Young Republicans (who never missed a date) squaring-off against a member of the VAYD in an hour-long, [...]
Daily Perriello: “Lefty” McNeill misreports liberal protest at Congressman’s office
As a news source, the Daily Progress often is not to be trusted, especially when neo-socialist writer Brian “Lefty” McNeill is behind the pen. Regular readers of the paper are familiar with McNeill’s liberal slant, but most do not have the means to fact-check his frequent “news-itorials,”—put forth by his publication as straight news. In [...]
Progressive Progress: Daily newspaper refuses correction of wayward reporter
The Daily Progress protects its writers, even when they pilfer and even when they slant. When the DP recently ran a Brian McNeill-authored story that contained critical and potentially misleading omissions, the newspaper’s editorial department declined to run a letter-to-the-editor (LTE) setting the writer (and the record) straight. According to the paper’s internal policy, such [...]
Breaking news: Schilling Show exclusive story makes Drudge Report
A clip shot by videographer Audrey Welborn and produced by The Schilling Show’s Rob Schilling has landed on the Drudge Report after the story broke on today’s edition of The Schilling Show, which airs on Newsradio 1070 WINA across Central Virginia. The video, whose content also has been discussed nationally on Fox News’ Sean Hannity [...]
Two-faced Tom: Perriello throwing stones from a glass house
Hypocrisy is rich in American politics these days, but Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello has driven duplicity to new heights. Recall that during his 2008 campaign for Virginia’s 5th District Congressional seat, candidate Perriello in a smarmy radio commercial (audio file below), ridiculed then incumbent Congressman Virgil Goode for squandering his Congressional efforts on such “trivial†[...]
Media General acknowledges Schilling Show as source of news
Although Charlottesville’s Daily Progress has refused to acknowledge several recent news stories broken on The Schilling Show (and The Schilling Show blog), parent company Media General apparently has no such reservation. When Progress writer, Brian McNeill, neglected to mention Jim McKelvey’s candidacy in a story referencing the “six” GOP contenders in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District [...]
Daily Progress can’t take the heat; censors online speech
Daily Progress managing editor (and noted blog critic), McGregor McCance, has resorted to online censorship in order to shield from criticism the faltering newspaper’s marginal reputation. Progress”news” writer Brian McNeill, often biased and inaccurate in his reporting penned a story for the November 20, 2009 edition of the newspaper, which was factually incorrect. The page [...]
