: if milwaukee's newspaper cant afford a media columnist and he has to go to a web site to write, it REALLY doesnt look good for us here in madison at ever getting one. i will say im surprised onmilwaukee could afford him. most everyone else at onmilwaukee is a nobody. can their ad revenues really be that high?
IIRC, Mr. Cuprisin wasn't exactly a loved member of Milwaukee message board posters over the past few years. Didn't he used to get ripped all the time for stealing scoops from the message boards and being lazy by constantly writing about irrelevent national TV programs? Yes it sends a real message that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel can't afford a media columnist, and it's also a shame that Madison Newspapers doesn't seem to have any interest in even pretending to be aware of Madison media.... but Tim Cuprisin wasn't a God by any means.
