Happy Hour: Journalistic Integrity

  • You know, we always figured the huge Kingston TVA ash spill would eventually make the rounds to national news, but GQ wasn’t exactly the publication we had in mind. [GQ via Pith In The Wind]
  • In other news, the TVA is appealing a federal ruling that they need find a way to stop pumping toxins across the border into North Carolina. [Tennessean]
  • The folks at the Spring Hill GM plant are going to have a long weekend awaiting Monday’s announcement about whether the plant will be shutting down. [WKRN]
  • Aw, John Rich is like totally stressed out! [Tennessean]
  • For our readers out in Murfreesboro, we had no idea y’all were so crafty. Stealing $26,000 sprinkler systems right out of the ground? Color us impressed. [WSMV]
  • And also, DON’T FORGET THAT TDOT IS SHUTTING DOWN I-40 AND RUINING LIVES THIS WEEKEND STARTING TONIGHT. Don’t say we didn’t warn ya. [WTVF]
