Only a straight-laced, buttoned-down Republican…would be up at 5:45 a.m putting together the FlashReport, hair nicely coiffed, attired in a freshly-pressed white shirt and conservative necktie.
Congratulations to Jon Fleischman and the FlashReport for the terrific spread in the SDUT this morning, which Jon obviously has already hi-lited.
I couldn’t help noticing, however, a discrepancy between perception and reality, heightened by the photo of Jon, caption reading: "Jon Fleischman begins compiling his FlashReport blog at his Irvine condo every morning at about 5:45 before heading to his job…"
OK, I know the photo wasn’t actually taken at 5:45 a.m., but the average reader is left with the stereotypical view of the GOP. Come on, Jon, didn’t you see Broadcast News, when the William Hurt character forces a cry? Couldn’t you have at least held off John Marelius and his photog long enough to put your PJs with the hearts and sailboats back on?
