Airhead

February 25, 2007 @ 09:10

Today I defend John Derringer against a frustrated woman named Rosie DiManno who writes for the Toronto Star.

Rosie wrote a vicious piece about Derringer in Saturday's Star, her reaction to a lawsuit that's been launched against Derringer and his employers Corus entertainment.

I'm not going to go over it piece by piece because I can't be bothered. I'd rather you read it and them come back and get my opinion, which is this.

DiManno has it out for radio people, always has, and I guess as long as she's not good enough to suck off the radio tit like so many of her newspaper colleagues, she always will. Then again, maybe it's something else. Maybe she's jealous of the money high profile radio people make. Or maybe it bothers her that her industry is crumbling around her.

Rosie's piece isn't so much a defense of Domi as it is an attack on Derringer and her argument is so hypocritical it's sickening. She wonders how a man's alleged adultery makes him fair game for unsubstantiated inferences of charitable venality.

Well I wondered the same thing back on June 1, 2001 when MOJO radio's format made the radio station fair game for DiManno's unsubstantiated, wild and ridiculous connection to child molesters.

I'll tell you the day that column was printed I would have paid to see a few MOJO models kick the snot out of DiManno because I worked there, and so did Derringer. But more than anything what bothers me about DiManno's Saturday column is when she claims John is no reporter, just an "air head."

Air head? She writes a whole column in defense of Tie Domi of all people, almost worshiping at his gnarly feet while overlooking all the pain he's caused his family and she calls Derringer an airhead?

Really Rosie, who's the "airhead.?"

Freddie, that Rosie really really boils my potatoes.

She gets off on doing it, which is why she does it so regularly. She loves it when guys like us write about her. You're just feeding the shark.

When we all stop acknowledging she exists, she'll disappear.

I read that article yesterday, and the first thing that struck me was that Rosie has such a strong opinion of Derringer and who he is, yet she claims to have never listened to his program. What a well-informed, objective piece.

Hey Fred...
I wrote something about this article yesterday.
Rosie Dimanno is an idiot.

Rosie Dimanno is hands-down the worst writer in Toronto. Maybe Canada. Maybe the Universe. I had to stop reading her columns before my head exploded.

I've never met her and I hope I never do.

Freddie,

I fully agree with your comment, I can't stand that stupid bitch. But then look who she's writing for. Do I need to say more?

my comment notices several puney spelling and grammatical errors in the previous comment’s, then goes on at length about how misuse of the English language annoys the poster more than incendiary blog postings.

my comment demands information that is easily googlable and completely off topic, and castigates the post author for not presenting “both sides”. It then goes on to make implied death threats and ends with either “I’m praying for you” or “Jesus Loves you”, possibly in all caps

I read the content on weblogs before I leave a remark. If I have not a single thing to say of the article topic, I wouldn't leave any reviews. And I love to read someone else’s responses on that post as well. Because I'm able to find invaluable ideas from the sensible comments. I'd have posted “Decent blog! Amazing posts!” then I might possibly be spamming your blog. I as well make use of a website, the first thing I'd personally do every single day after i signed up on my wordpress blog is have a look at feedback to my articles or blog posts and manually approve or reject these remarks. Keywordluv not only brings you more commenters. It enhances your position in search engines being you’re not only on tons of “dofollow blog lists” but also on a number of those “keywordluv lists”. Cheers, Gabby
