Austin ER’s got 2,678 visits from 9 people
over 6 years
In the past six years, eight people from Austin and one from Luling
racked up 2,678 emergency room visits in Central Texas, costing
hospitals, taxpayers and others $3 million, according to a report from
a nonprofit made up of hospitals and other providers that care for the
uninsured and low-income Central Texans.
One of the nine spent more than a third of last year in the ER: 145

''The first thing we do, let's kill

Bernard Goldberg isn’t the most popular name in today’s newsrooms, and
that was before he wrote A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and
Pathetic) Story of a Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the
Mainstream Media. Goldberg reinvented himself from long-time CBS
newsman — with six Emmys to his credit — to liberal media bias detector
with bestsellers Bias and Arrogance.
Today’s MSMers may be a lost cause. But what about journalism school
professors? What do they think of Goldberg’s books? Do they take his
criticisms to heart? Or can they successfully poke holes in his
arguments? These professors are molding the minds of tomorrow’s media
gatekeepers. What could be better than for them to engage their
students with Goldberg’s thesis? Even if they disagree with Goldberg,
they could spark the kind of healthy debate all budding journalists
should consider.
So I decided to ask some journalism professors myself. I spent the last
month directly reaching out to more than 20 professors from across the
country, as well as several university PR divisions, to get their take
on Goldberg’s critiques. I even turned to my Facebook and Twitter
accounts to seek out anyone who might comment for this article. I
should have expected the result.
Silence.
