Arthur Worries For Win Quigley

Shhhhh.
We should talk abut Winthrop Quigley’s “Money & Medicine”column in the Albuquerque Journal’s Business Outlook Monday, June 14, page 4. (Bonus: It’s a link you can read even if you don’t subscribe to the Journal).
But let’s be quiet, very quiet. We wouldn’t want to get him in trouble with management.
It’s subversive stuff, you [...]

Memo To The Journal: Direct Your Firepower At Business, For Once

June 9th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

What a splendid lead editorial in the Albuquerque Journal today, Tuesday, June 8! (“Another Day, Another D.C. Day As Usual.”) There was no pretense of deliberation, sobriety or fairness.
It was partisanship, plain and simple, a strong brew of half-truths and untruths, seasoned with gall and served with anger.
Great, I thought. The real Albuquerque [...]

Buying The Blue Cross Line

Identifying the Albuquerque Journal’s journalistic failures is easy. Figuring out why they happen, not so much.
Perhaps you can help me understand why Winthrop Quigley’s story on Blue Cross last Saturday was mislabeled.
With his deep knowledge of the health insurance industry, Quigley explained the company’s argument for raising premiums on its individual plans. Coming [...]

The Journal’s Embarrassing Error

The Journal made a spectacular error today.
A story, “Businesses ‘Slept’ in Last Election,” by staff writer Win Quigley, detailed some of the comments made by speakers at a recent Economic Forum.
From the story:
New Mexico business people were asleep at the wheel in the last election cycle, allowing a free flow of out-of-state political [...]

Who Will Cry for Charter Bank?

Win Quigley has done it again.
Answered my questions, that is.
From reading Albuquerque Journal stories about Charter Bank over the years, I had the impression it was one of the better-run financial institutions, a bank that actually served the New Mexico community.
On Tuesday, Quigley weighed in with “Charter: A Case of Regulators Run Amok,” and [...]

Arthur Alpert’s Conservative Pundit Scorecard

First Winthrop Quigley doubted (UpFront, Dec. 22) that investors, Congress or Wall Street have learned anything from this Great Recession. Next, he “warned,” tongue-in-cheek, of an ugly tax debate ahead in Business Outlook, Dec. 28. Having read both pieces, I’m forced to conclude that Quigley’s an intellectual.
By intellectual, I mean first that he [...]

Name-Calling Dismisses the Good Work Being Done at the Journal

January 4th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

By Denise Tessier
Former Albuquerque Mayor Jim Baca has an interesting New Year’s proposition for his blog readers: Come up with a derogatory name for the Albuquerque Journal. And don’t send him “Albuquerque Urinal” as a suggestion, he says, because it’s been done before. (It certainly has.)
His rationale for dissing the state’s leading newspaper is Thom [...]
