Smart money says the same operation in Hagerstown where the master's degree came from.<BR/><BR/>Those are nice degrees for impressing potential congregations in Binghamton, but not for running for office in a place famous for its ugly politics. <BR/><BR/>To the first poster: You referred to news breaking during prime-time programming. What are you talking about? I'm missing something. Loved the Pottsville line, though.NEPAmediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096996915800680201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21128745.post-1145668904397349332006-04-21T21:21:00.000-04:002006-04-21T21:21:00.000-04:00So where is his PhD from?

Somehow,...No surprise here. I'm not shocked at all. Somehow, the stench associated with FA's graduate "diploma" is about on par with the content of the crash-and-burn TV "news" program he was associated with. Of particular note: The so-called news breaks during prime time programming. I'd be happier with them if they were labeled for what they really are: clumsy in-house ads with about as much news value to the viewer as a chunk of Pottsville conglomerate picked up from a strip pit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
