My FAVORITE thing about QNI is..........

97 comments:

  1. Can you mention Caren Kemner WITHOUT mentioning.... three-time member of the U.S. Olympic volleyball team.

    Sheeessshhhh. Give it a rest!

  2. Monday paper is going green because it only weighs 2 ounces and saves on paper and ink. Costs the same price as Wednesdays paper is the bad part.

  3. The fact that hart had to rush to the gay bar for a drink and an interview

    ReplyDelete
  4. Speaking of gay , Steve's Idol write up are gay .

  5. I love the fluff stories on old cars , talk about proving the business model is broken .

  6. I love how they cover all the local news with a blanket of propaganda that would make the Soviets proud

  7. Brian being wrong so often. he acts like he saves everyone is a kicker.

    www.nws.com

    this is where he gets his info.

    How many people carry their TV to the basement?

    He says "get to shelter, but if you happen to take some pics, send them to me"

    Is it really about saving lives or rating ?

  8. If Steve E can pry his lips off of Quincy Raceways Ass would be nice!

    Who gives a shit about that place?

  9. How about Ed H. off the Mayors ass?

  10. I like that hart is the pr department for John b , is it that hard to win a jury trial without tainting the entire pool?

  11. I can think of two uses for the Whig.
    1. Use to start a camp fire.
    2. Line the dog carrier before a long trip.
    Other than that, it is just a rag that is not worth the paper it is printed on. Fuck you Oakleys one and all!!!

  12. The ultimate low spot was WGEM's coverage of the president from the airport.

    ReplyDelete
  13. ...this one time, at band camp....

  14. Monday's edition is not a paper it's a pamphlet. The "paper" ,and I use the word loosely,is so thin that Kleenex would be ashamed to use it.

    ReplyDelete
  15. When was the last time the whig had a fresh, newsworthy story in the Sunday edition? It's always written earlier in the week.

    Holly is the only decent writer/reporter they have.

    No news from the statehouse.

    The Weekly Reader has harder hitting editorials. I mean, they write an editorial in support of such hard hitting topics as scout cookies and popcorn, city wide cleanup and controversial topics such as better highways.

    Generally it prints at 10:00 in the morning so why call it an afternoon paper...maybe that's because that's when we get home to read it.

    An eight or even a six page section allows them to print three sections. Wow. The Post Dispatch prints one section that is bigger than the combined sections in the whig on a typical day.

    Art Higgins is probably laughing at their product in Heaven.

    Go to the Quincy Public Library and dig out some microfiched papers from 20 - 30 years ago. News all over the place. Better written. AP and UPI stories.

  16. What kills me is their "thumb the nose" attitude they have at the community while their subscription rates tumble.

    I for one will be at the party when they fold!

  17. What is QNI ??

    ReplyDelete
  18. Are you referring to the "whig" an
    the local TV stations?
    If so, I concur; neither have reporters just "readers".
    Their web pages are poorly updated, sometimes it takes them days just
    to change the dates.

  20. OK, I read it now what?

  21. What was wrong with the tv coverage from the airport? It was way better than khqa...thy couldn't even keep themselves on the air.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Better than KHQA ??
    Whoopie Crap !
    Guess that makes them great

  25. It's so slow down there now that Jessica is now doing a story on Rodney.

    LEAVE YOUR DESKS AND FIND SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT!

    Un-freaking-beleivable.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My favorite thing is how they write a story about all the Adams County Health Dept. jobs coming back, while Bobby G. says nothing. Can't have anything positive about jobs coming back to Quincy on Tookie's site now can we?!?!?

    Does that make it a WHIGOriginal?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Bob must be too busy shoving Tookie's brat in his mouth....
    Watch out for the mayo!

    ReplyDelete
  28. A news room full of people and some random "jobs coming back" piece just trumps Bob . Great stuff asshats , maybe you can doing a quilting story too .

    ReplyDelete
  29. some random "jobs coming back" piece???

    Random? This story was a headline on EVERY local media site when the jobs were lost. Tookie just can't have anything positive on his site.

    Keep the fearmongering up assholes!

    ReplyDelete
  30. First of all, it depends what your definition of “News” is.

    If the “potential” of jobs being lost on the state not paying their bills on time seems like news to you then so be it. The total sum of the whole thing is, nothing happened. Keep your subscription to the QHW updated. I for one found it just a scare tactic by the ACHD to alert the public that they weren't getting their money from the state.

    This story had about as much excitement as headline news that the stoplight at 24th and Broadway just turned red !!!! oh wait, it's green now. Oh wait, it now turned yellow!

    Maybe Monday's QHW pamphlet that comes out will have how a local hotdog vendor will file for bankruptcy because the fireworks on the riverfront got rained out. One guarantee will be headline news of who won the left turn contest out east Broadway from Steve E. unless it gets...hee..hee...rained out.

    ReplyDelete
  31. It's not the Whig's business model that sucks. It's the Whig that sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  32. "Our" media collect their information
    by calling the local police/fire/hospitals etc, requesting updates.
    Well they have such a sad re pore
    that often they are told to pound sand.
    Receiving news updates from
    the networks, the locals pick and chose then "read" you the "news".
    This same info available to you on
    the different websites.
    Gone is the local reporter that hustles a story

    ReplyDelete
  33. "This story had about as much excitement as headline news that the stoplight at 24th and Broadway just turned red !!!! oh wait, it's green now. Oh wait, it now turned yellow!"

    If it's not exciting to you, then you're saying job losses are no big deal, whether they were temporary (just like a stoplight) or not?

    That sounds Mentesti-Spring-ish.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Well 8:08 anon:

    Stop lights may be very appealing to you but not to me. I'll run thru this once again so u may understand.

    The state is behind on payments, the ACHD has to cut employees, the state comes thru with the money. No jobs lost. Just like watching a stoplight. Red, Green, Yellow. I for one am not facinated by watching a sequence occur that I know the outcome. Maybe you are.

    Bottom line is, did anyone actually "lose" their job. No. It was a published threat to make the public aware of no state funding.

    When Praire Farms layed off, they did. When Gardner Denver layed off, they did. This was News!

    You can call it news, I call it propaganda.

    Thanks for stopping by.

    Fire.

    ReplyDelete
  35. BREAKING NEWS! NO ONE AT THE HEALTH DEPT LOST THEIR JOB,OR WAS LAID OFF!STATE MONEY IS COMING!WE'RE SAVED!Oh,all the other stoplights are changing,too.

  36. At least QNI had the balls to fire Bob for being such a pervert. Does anyone remember Ms. Wendling's departure? The interns sure hated him too. Be careful Jamie Boozin....

  39. I think QNO does a fine job reporting the news. Maybe if the Whig would allow public comments they might see just how biased they really are.

  42. "Maybe if the Whig would allow public comments they might see just how biased they really are."

    Have you forgotten already? The Whig DID have a comment section in their poll section but it quickly became nothing more than a place for the teabaggers to spew their "OBUMMER IS A NAZI" vomit all over.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I take offense to the word "teabagger"
    The use of the word is evil as
    the the so called "n" word.

    It is a vile term and should not be
    used in print

    Roberta

    ReplyDelete
  44. It wasn't Bob G. that was the perv. It was his predecessor MM.

    So why did they never ever fire LS for being a falling down, embarrassing the company repeatedly in public drunk?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Roberta,
    I have bad news for you.
    This is the INTERNET, not PRINT; you dumb old hag.
    Have you signed up for typing classes yet or are you going to continue typing 3 words per line the rest of your frail and half-retarted life?

    Wait.... are you REALLY saying the word teabagger is as bad as the N-word? As if the teabagger name is a reference to a specific race? Because that's exactly what the N-word is, and you need a history lesson.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I feel like saying the word FUCK right now.

    So there.

  71. Sorry if my post was viewed as a personal attack on McQ. But I see a lot of faces I know at the QTP stuff, and they are good honest hard working people, and they are following him, like little sheep. I also see McQ's face all over the QTP. Those nice adjectives do not apply to him, and I know the good people WANT him to be as good & honest as they are, and they THINK that he is that way, but they didn't know him 20 years or more ago. McQ has a past, and he is carefully trying to reinvent his past for the QTP. It's obvious he is positioning himself to run for political office. Before you give him your honest hard earned money for his QTP and his future campaign fund, check into McQ's past. Seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  72. If you know McQ is such a criminal, how about giving us some facts.
    Darrell

    ReplyDelete
  73. I didn't say he was a criminal. I'm saying he just knows way more about owing bill collectors, having things repo'd, and being sued for bills he didn't pay than the average member of the QTP.

  74. Because one cannot pay their bills does not make a bad person
    However, making the bills and not intending to pay does make you a deadbeat.
