Journalistic integrity is in order…
Ah, but you make the mistake of assuming Metropulse has a concept of “journalism” and “integrity”; it doesn’t. They exist to promote the political and ideological biases of their editoral staff.

If anyone who works at Metropulse considers himself a “journalist” engaged in “journalistic” pursuits, he’s either lying or deluded.

[...] In March, I asked questions about a Metro Pulse editorial hit piece on State Rep. Stacey Campfield as well as State Rep. Frank Nicely. The piece criticized the idea that eminent domain seizures was a problem or a reality. I asked in my posts if the Metro Pulse would come forward and answer who wrote the editorial. You can read my posts here and here. Bill Lyons with the City of Knoxville was one person that I suggested might possibly have a line of influence with the Metro Pulse since his wife is listed as staff for the Pulse. [...]

Curiouser and curiouser. . . Metro Pulse has lost credibility. It’s too bad it’s readers are treated like idiots. Give the people ALL the facts and then let them make their own decisions. The people aren’t stupid but journalistic rags like PULSE think so.

My dogs put MetroPulse to its highest and best use.

It truly is a socialist rag.

It’s consistent, though, in that it lavishes praise on every type of tax increase.

Liberals refuse to see these kinds of media conflicts of interest when their own people are the source of the conflict. However, if these were all Republicans, you can bet the liberals would be howling for the end of MetroPulse.

MetroPulse is a socialist/communist front paper, which is why they are not on my blog sidebar. I don’t care to put a liberal source here and there, but not a socialist one.

Good thing it’s free. I know absolutely zero people who would pay for Metropulse.

[...] Terry Frank on the Metropulse’s recent love affair with the hideous practice of eminent domain: Recently I asked of Bill Lyons, Director of Policy Development for the Mayor Haslam and the City of Knoxville, or if his Metro Pulse staffer wife, Gay, had written, influenced, or contributed to an editorial hit-piece in the Metro Pulse which slammed legislators who are working to protect private property rights.
