Housekeeping They Like Us, They Really Like Us

posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on January 28 at 9:00 AM

The Seattle Times must really love Slog, because last week, one of their reporters sent us an email, begging for us to post, link, or otherwise make a bigger deal about one of their forgotten stories.

From: Date: January 25, 2008 —:—:— AM PST To: Subject: SlogTip — do u think this is funny? My paper ran it on the web yesterday but not today and nobody saw it. I thought seattleites would want to know.

We’re not going to link the story or name the writer, since it might get them fired.

Thanks, Seattle Times. We love you too.

*Sigh*. Nothing- not Dan's obsession with pit bulls, not ECB's obsession with fixed gear bikes- NOTHING is as boring as the Stranger's obsession with the Times.

Was it a good story?

Their ten-page recap of the horrors of the Montlake organized crime operation known as "The Huskies" was pretty fucking sharp. Nice to know that the university not only covers up football-player rape (with the help of their special football-player legal team, which included saintly Norm Maleng) but was still trying to harass and humiliate the victim years later.

I only forward the good ones.

It wasn't good.

Wake up and smell the failure, Times.

It can't be Pamela. Each and every Seattle resident already reads her column religiously.

This is so pathetic and pointless.

This "hot tip" is obviously fabricated. Do you really expect us to believe that a reporter from the Times would be sending crap like this to your little paper?

Seattle Times sucks. And whatever it was, it wasn't funny. A little bird told me.

All I'll say, is that the story ended up getting linked somewhere on Slog today.
