I don't know who had a bone to pick with me but YOU screwed the DU on a INTERNATIONAL breaking story

Hosts and jury members. This post does not name a DUer. It places no blame on hosts. Leave this OP alone. I just want the DU to know what somebody did, probably because of me.

As to who turned in the alert, I have no idea. I'm not a host. The hosts did their job as they see it. I have no quarrel with them.

But as to the reason a DUer would intentionally kill a INTERNATIONALNATIONAL breaking story I can't understand. Is it me? Are you anti-union? Work for Verizon in management?.

So we had the story and somebody just couldn't stand a breaking story. We beat EVERYBODY to it.

Apparently YOU don't consider the CWA a trustworthy source. Well I hope you learned a lesson today. It cost the DU, if you care.

Below you can see Fortune, UPI, and Salon picked up what the DU broke hours in advance.

Pat yourself on the back for getting to a dementia patient!

The haughty, French-looking Massachusetts democrat? I don't know that. I mean, he never mentioned it.

Yup, that's the one. Did you know one day he walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Why the long face"?

Thank you. I'll be here till Thursday. Try the veal and don't forget to tip.

Now it all makes sense.

What? Oh, My bad, allow me to explain.

The wife and I went grocery shopping the other day. We're standing in line, and I'm checking out all the various publications near the checkout. They're flooded with stuff about prince right now. And the usual soap opera guides about who is ****ing who, and what floozie took the other floozies man, and so forth. And the usual cooking magazines, many with pictures of delicious looking desserts on the cover.

It was here that I came across the tabloids. You know the ones I mean. They have bold headlines like "Bill Clinton to resurrect Elvis through forbidden sexual ritual" and "CANDID PHOTOS: Tom Daschle caught in compromising position.  Sheep remains silent", and "Dying Clinton Humiliated as Hillary Caught Dirty Dancing With A woman":

(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/f2/c4/54/f2c4541813209dfa4242815ff039cde9.jpg)


Again, mostly about prince (is anyone else tired of that yet?) but one line toward the bottom of one tabloid jumped out at me. It read "The Shocking True Story How the Internet Was Actually Invented by A horse".

The tabloid I saw yesterday said "Hillary Covering up Bill's Sex Crimes!"  But this is not news.

"Dementia patient."  Please.   ::) :sosad:

I'm pretty sure that within 24-48 business hours, this will be proven correct.

I understand what national and international mean but what does internationalnational mean? I assume bigger than national but smaller than intercontinental.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest he forgot to insert the / between international and national.
