laurel canyon dog park: controversy rages on...

okay so as you know i've starting writing for this newspaper, the cayon news, solely to get clips of my writing for future writing in magazines and newspapers, but my first story as been blighted with the addition of a quote from someone who wasn't me, so now my story IS RETARDED SOUNDING!! and i didn't add this quote, but i wasn't going to mention it until i got an email from one of the peopel i interviewed who is on the laurel canyon association and thought the quote was innapropriate and inflamed, get in line, buddy so did i. so i had to write back explaining that I didn't add that quote in my original story and i personally think the quote was besides the point, so here's what he wrote back

"Your editor should fight the tendency to whip up
controversy when the issue is really about finding sound and reasonable
solutions to problems placed on us by our very short sighted City
founders."

HOT DAMN! so then i wrote my editor and expressed my frustration of this and how it makes me look bad and ruining my sources and she said the person who added the quote was the photographer, THE WHO? DOES THE PHOTOGRAPHER KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW TO WRITE A NEWS STORY. did the photographers parents pay an large sum of money for an out of state student to go to the university of colorado and get a journalism degree. AHHH NO! so hows about we leave the writing to the writers people so i don't get hate email! i'm not even getting paid for this shit! meanwhile i had submitted my own pictures, in thsi age of digi pics, i don't need a photographer on my stories, even it's only for the fact that i don't want him adding shit to my stories.!! AHHHH
