Investigative Voice: PER(S)NICKETY — Sun’s copy blog charges Investigative Voice with being too hard on ‘alleged’ serial killer

‘VETERAN DRUDGE’ (BY HIS OWN ADMISSION) McINTYRE
CHASTISES I.V. FOR NOT USING ‘OUR INDOOR VOICES’
WHEN  REPORTING  ON  BRUTAL RAPE  AND MURDER
SUN EDITOR TAKES UPSTART WATCHDOG WEBSITE TO TASK

Don’t  rape and attempted murder  already  suggest  violence,
so that violent killing spree is just some more heavy breathing?
— Former head of Baltimore Sun Copy Desk John McIntyre

In a public plea for placid prose, sometime Baltimore Sun Copy Editor John E. McIntyre this week reprimanded Investigative Voice Senior Reporter Stephen Janis for not using his inside voice — no pun intended — in a news brief recounting the conviction of “alleged” serial killer William Vincent Brown.

In his periodic blog, “You Don’t Say,” McIntyre took I.V. to task for using incendiary language to describe Brown’s crimes of raping, strangling, and cutting off a woman’s ear, noting that Janis flouted copy decorum while describing the acts that McIntyre alleged deserve more delicate treatment.

“It would also be a good thing if we could write about it using our indoor voices,” The Sun‘s night content production manager said.  ... http://investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7126:persnickety-suns-sometime-copy-editor-charges-investigative-voice-with-being-too-hard-on-alleged-serial-killer&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44

Investigative Voice: LIES & LIARS? — Bernstein & Jessamy battle for the hearts & minds of the electorate


LIES & LIARS? — Bernstein & Jessamy battle for the hearts & minds of the electorate

Sunday, 15 August 2010 21:24



 AN INVESTIGATIVE VOICE ANALYSIS

 What was gained? What was lost?
---------- ---------- ----------
Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld, top left, and city State's Attorney candidate Gregg Bernstein, above, were both called liars this past week by incumbent top prosecutor Pat Jessamy. (I.V. File Photos/A.F. James MacArthur & Stephen Janis)
IN CAMPAIGN FOR CITY STATE’S ATTORNEY,
THE INCUMBENT PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS

I am tough; I am smart; I am truthful
(whereas) he continues to lie.— Patricia C. Jessamy

DID THE CHALLENGER & THE COMMISH
SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT?
Or was it Jessamy who did that to herself?

PRACTICALLY A HOUSEHOLD WORD
By Alan Z. Forman As the city state’s attorney repeatedly attacked her primary-election challenger for allegedly continuing “to lie” about her record, and the police commissioner who supports him removed two lawn signs within hours of the chief prosecutor’s call for an “independent fact finder” to determine at taxpayer expense whether the top cop had lied about a phone call, local news outlets began reporting at week’s end that the Baltimore political establishment was rallying “around Jessamy.”

But was this truly the case? and even if it was, does it really matter?

The implication of a headline in the Thursday editions of the Baltimore Sun — “Bealefeld removes campaign signs as political establishment rallies around Jessamy”— and the reports from other local media that followed was that challenger Gregg Bernstein and Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld had grossly miscalculated by posting lawn signs in the commissioner’s Southwest Baltimore yard touting the top cop’s support of the upstart challenger, whose name hardly anyone in the city even knew.

State's Atty. candidate Gregg Bernstein....

WILL BE OPEN TO MEDIA ONLY, NOT TO THE PUBLIC

By Stephen Janis

The fight for Baltimore's top prosecutor’s job will shift into high gear next week, when the

pat-jessamy

....will debate the city's incumbent top prosecutor Pat Jessamy Thursday night. (I.V. File Photos)

city’s minority police organization hosts a debate between incumbent Patricia Jessamy and her opponent Gregg Bernstein.

The Vanguard Justice Society, which represents minority officers in the Baltimore Police Department, has scheduled a debate between the two contenders for Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Mt. Washington Conference Center in Northwest Baltimore.

Newly elected Vanguard Justice Society President Kenneth Butler said the organization scheduled the debate to give both its membership and the public a chance to hear both candidates’ views on fighting crime in the city.

RACE HAS BEEN HEATED

“We know this has been a heated race, so we thought it would be worthwhile," he said. "I want our members to hear both sides and from both candidates.”

The debate will not be open to the public, Butler said. However, local news media have been invited to attend.

The race for city state’s attorney has gone from moribund to heated in the past two weeks. On Thursday the two held a heated debate on radio station WYPR-FM.

Red Maryland - Richard E. Vatz: The Jessamy-Bernstein Debate: Substance to Bernstein; Style to Bernstein; Penalty Points Against Jessamy

The Jessamy-Bernstein Debate: Substance to Bernstein; Style to Bernstein; Penalty Points Against Jessamy – Likely Primary Election Winner: Jessamy



The August 12 debate between Patricia Jessamy and Gregg Bernstein on WYPR’s “Midday with Dan Rodricks” tells us a lot about political debates, and it also tells us a lot about the principals and their principles in the current race for City State’s Attorney in the Democratic primary.

When candidates have an unfriendly debate filled with unpleasant, personal attacks, the debate tends to be reported as generally nasty, with the implication being that “there is no love lost between these two,” or, in this case, described as their “frequently trading barbs,” in an otherwise excellent analysis in The Baltimore Sun.

The fact is that sometimes there is a major difference in the candidates in this regard. Yesterday’s ugly debate was one-sidedly nasty, even though both candidates were disdainful of the other... http://redmaryland.blogspot.com/2010/08/jessamy-bernstein-debate-substance-to.html

City's top prosecutor and challenger debate the issues

City's top prosecutor and challenger debate the issues

Sun scrutinizes claims made by candidates

By Tricia Bishop and Justin Fenton, The Baltimore Sun

8:55 p.m. EDT, August 12, 2010

Baltimore state's attorney candidate Gregg Bernstein and incumbent Patricia C. Jessamy met face to face in their first extended debate Thursday, frequently trading barbs.

During WYPR's "Midday with Dan Rodricks," Jessamy called Bernstein a liar, while he called her ineffective and isolated. The candidates in the Democratic primary also tossed out various claims and statistics to support their candidacy.

The Sun took a closer look at their claims and put them into context to see how they held up under scrutiny... http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-debate-20100812,0,5737356,full.story

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY, TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL DYING
The politicians need to stop playing politics with crime statistics

THE CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT


AN INVESTIGATIVE VOICE EDITORIAL

By Senior Reporter Stephen Janis

That’s it, it’s over.

This week officially marks the proverbial final call for the mantra that seems to accompany every outbreak of violence.

Crime is down.

Even if it’s a statistical fact, the citizens of Baltimore don’t want to hear it.

Since Friday, seven people have been murdered including two overnight Monday as the city is reeling from the accounts of Johns Hopkins University researcher Stephen Pitcairn talking to his mother on a cellphone as he died from a vicious stab wound to the chest in Charles Village. http://investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5227:crime-a-punishment-reconsidered&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44
