Yes, I’m sure this is the first time a reporter has ever disguised the true true direction of a story. C’mon Will.

She interviewed Sheri Few, Dwight Loftis, some chicks at Tell Them, and a few other “who the fucks” that no one gives two shits about. What an intrepid reporter should have done, is watch Ann Timberlake lobby members of the Legislature on a near daily basis. But then, The State would never want to tarnish her golden image with the Shandonistas (aka, the only people who read their shitty newspaper for something other than Gamecock football and obituaries).
What, Ann not complying with the lobbying laws? Shut your mouth!
God, I hope that will is not referencing Sheri “I lost another race again” Few.

What happened to your story on idiot/retarted lobbyist Russell Lott keeping the black man down from his farm running for the Dtate House? did you get paid to spike the story fits?
Yea what happened to the story on Lott? Maybe he’s related to Leon….he did work in St. Mathews for awhile.

Is Ann Timberlake registered as a lobbyist? She sure shows up in that lobby and lobbies the hell out of house and senate members.
Yep she sure does and she ain’t registered. But Fretwell and his paper will shield her from scrutiny. She’s guilty as sin.
So Will, you going to write that story or not? Everyone seems to think timberlake is one of the worst offenders of being an unregistered lobbyist.

How did she mislead them, exactly. What did she say? Not a story until we have that information.

I think her sources are a little suspect to say the least! Actually a lot suspect! If she upset them – she is sure to get sued!

Why didn’t you just call her up and pass their message along and spare your readers this dribble.

The absolute worst is state employees whose only function is to lobby the legislature and leave their state jobs so that they can exploit their relationships with legislators.

Is it lobbying when Jean Toal calls a lawyer-legislator and informs them she will castrate them professionally if they don’t vote as she tells them to do? What does Warren Tompkins get paid to do if she does that directly?

The State Newspaper is the bottom of the barrel. This week I canceled 3 subscriptions. It won’t put them out of business but it is my little contribution to it
