I'm just glad something got him to stop tweeting about his crappy fanfic ideas for how to save soaps. Pressed Jamey is way more amusing than wannabe soap writer Jamey.

so. much. truth!

I don't know whether he goes after actors with malice but he definitely went after AMC as a show with malice. IMO, that alone makes his reporting unreliable and untrustworthy. Jamey has shown that he is incapable of reporting AMC with any degree of objectivity. He's not the only member of the soap press with that problem but he's the only one claiming innocence. Jamey has been called out, directly or indirectly, by SL, RPG, AM, and now VI. At some point he just needs to own his bias.

Exactly.

He and most of the soap opera press with any real kind of contact over the past year or two knew taht ABC was going to axe a soap. He tried heavily to make sure it was AMC and not OLTL. Then they went ahead and just axed both at once instead of doing a CBS and axing one a year.

With something like soaps, there is always a bias. There are no truly impartial commentators. That isn't a criticism, but how I see things.

This is true. Very much so when you have fans who become press. Other factors can play a hand, ie shows that offer your more coverage, where you have contacts, what shows/actors/etc gets you the most feedback, but usually its clear what persons favorite soap is by their reporting.

Why are we acting as if the poster on Vin's FB didn't get the idea that VI and LB are "why AMC was postponed" from Jamey? That's the issue here -- the fact that he's acting as if he has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with that poster's question. Bitch, you talk sh!t and talk sh!t about your site and how many people read it, yet when you post something, and people respond to it by going and questioning the person involved, you want to act like you ain't do nothing?

What he posted didnt directly say it, but it was more than implying, it was directly leading people to that conclusion.

He didnt respond to it when people were talkin about it until VI said something. Now he wants to scale back and play innocent.

Jamey Giddens Original Tweet Re: PP & AMC

Hearing Prospect Park's inability to make a deal w/ V. Irizarry is a factor in #AMC reboot stalling. Stories were to heavily involve David.

What the fan wrote to VI

hi, its been reported today that that the show was put on hold for 3 mos. because loren broderick and vincent cant decide if they want to sign, come on guys i hope this is not true, its been way to long for the return of pine valley,lets get the show back

It just seems like the person added in some other stuff that they heard, but yeah I can understand where she came up with the idea about VI from Jamey's tweet.

From Jamey's tweets he states the "inability to make a deal" which to me means tried and fail so yes he implies that VI not signing is a factor. This is the third time that I seen this happen with Jamey he makes a statement about some actor when that actor contradicts his words and call him to the mat he goes off on like a fool. Own up to your mess and stop relying just on what your source says and get confirmation, that is what a true journalist would do

Ok Guys what this fan posted to VI is not even close to what Jamey Said

Except for the Broderick factor, the FB entry is exactly what Jamey reported imo. The minute I read jamey's tweet, I thought "Oh Snap, he is totally blaming VI for AMC being put on hold"

And if you are going to be a biased Reporter or Columnist, you can expect to be called out fo rit and Jamey has made it obvious with his bias against AMC!!!

I agree with you 100%, thats why I'm reading most of these comments and placing a (none emoticon) after at lot them. You're right! There is bias, including here.

I'm no fan of Jamey's at all. In fact, I've listened to that podcast and his voice and giggling grates my nerves, BUT he's posting what he's heard. Whether wrong or right.....right?

Thorsten Kaye will be in a new NBC series called Smash. He won't be in it till the seventh episode. It's about Marilyn Monroe

and stars Angelica Huston and Debra Messing.

There's a huge difference between people on a message board and someone who claims to be a "journalist."

That's not even the issue, so step back, please.

Child boo! It is the issue. You're going through it because you don't like what he said. Yep. He's probably got it wrong, but as I said he posts what he's heard just as everyone else does. None ya'll know the real deal. It's all the same as far as I'm concerned.

Exactly. Jamey wants to be considered a "journalist"...except when he doesn't. Either way, he needs to own up to the fact he put bad information out there and once again the person he was trash talking addressed it.

1. Jamey tweeted that VI is a reason why AMC is being postponed.

2. A Facebook user asked VI if he's the reason why AMC is being postponed.

3. VI responded and said that that was "rubbish."

Jamey is acting like #1 has nothing to do with #2, and that is the issue. That is why he went into his crusade yesterday. Any other situation, he'd jump all over the chance to claim ownership over a scoop. This time, though, he's pretending the Facebook user either A, came up with the information all on her own, or B, got it from someone else. As far as I know, he was the first person to put the VI thing out there, so it all falls on his (trying hard not to add mean adjectives here) shoulders.

THANK YOU. It has nothing to do with whether or not his information was false. It has everything to do with him acting like he didn't put the information there in the first place.

So "child boo," as I said, STEP. BACK.

It's a shame that you took what I said said personally when I was responding to about biases. It's not like I don't agree that Jamey overstepped, but he's doing what he does.

.....but whatever, dear. I'll step back when you do.

Actually the issue is that he is trying to backtrack and spin from what he said he heard about as to why AMC is on hold now that is has been denied by said "reason"

Right, and this is where you realize you had it all wrong from the beginning

Like I said, great, but my point was he reports what he hears from his "sources", whether right or wrong. That's he does. That was my point about Jamey being biased along with everyone else when it comes to these soap operas.

Had what wrong? No dear. You misunderstood my OP and took it where it didn't need to go. Now you take two steps back then try again.

The theatre nut in me is losing it! That looks fascinating. Yay for TK and yay for another show shooting in NYC.

Not sure what your point is as I havent read anyone deny he reported what he supposedly heard, but now he is bitching that what he "heard" was misinterpreted to VI, blah, nlah, hence the backtracking and spin. He has been hearing a lot as of late and very few if any of what he has heard has come to fruition and been flat out denied by the very subjects of what he has "heard" therein lies the issue
