Pilar Verdes at WABE, declining standards?

Pilar Verdes, formerly of the foreign language Mundo Hispanico “newspaper”, is now a stringer for WABE radio in Atlanta. WABE is an NPR and PBS affiliate.

I spoke to WABE news director, Michael Feilds, today and he has confirmed Verdes employment. “Pilar works for one day a week as a stringer…” was Feilds’ reply to my inquiry. Verdes called me for an interveiw this morning and told me was working for WABE. Knowing Pilar and WABE’s reputation, I had trouble accepting that as accurate. Amazingly, it is.

As a pro-enforcement American who has been dealing with Pilar’s resentful and argumentative antics – and her agenda – for years, I note that the collective professionalism in journalism at WABE has been reduced greatly with Verdes’ employ.

Next stop, SPLC smear mill?

In a word…YUCK
