Do As I Say, Not As I Do
I'm a Cleveland, Ohio-based writer, editor and writing coach, with more than 25 years of experience, including stints in Chicago and Washington, D.C. My work has appeared in more than 100 print and online publications, from the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor to local and regional publications. My work has been recognized by awards (including an Emmy) from four journalism groups.

Ms. Curry is not the worst of the bunch, but if the Today Show's journalistic standards are to be held up as the measure of a warrior, she should fall on her sword and be done.
Hmm, Dateline, where they have show after reality show of predators lured to underaged teens kitchens????
Would have liked to see her stiletto's though :-)
Well said, Bluster. And I did pick up on that stiletto detail, also. Dateline is indeed shameful, but then network television is basically out of the news business completely (except for PBS), now that it's all owned by conglomerates. It's all pure entertainment now.
No, Ann Curry is not my idea of hard journalism either.
At least she tried to dissuade those coming up behind her from being as superficial as she has been in her career.

Well said, Michelle. I love your blog, so I'm thrilled you've stumbled over this site, perhaps as a result of the ongoing sci-fi conversation elsewhere, and joined the conversation. Here's hoping you'll come back often. I'll be closely reading your updates on motherhood and other subjects.
Speaking of stilettos, some of us with wider feet are destined for life in saddle shoes, clogs, loafers, moccasins, and nevertheless strive to walk quietly and undetected. Might some be called: "foragers" for truth?
I like that, Maria. And you're a lot better off without those shoes. I understand some woman put themselves through semi-maiming to wear those kind of shoes. How sad.
