<p>It appears she may be a scopist? Bienenstock's family does their scoping and proofing and I, too, wonder who would suggest them to be contacted.</p>

<p>Kelley, I'm on vacation at our cabin in northern Pennsylvania. Will be here for 2 weeks. I went to a Class of '75 fundraiser for a scholarship we give every year and met a classmate who turned out to be ... A LAWYER. And she lives near me in Washington DC! We chatted for a while, and she named the reporting agency her law firm uses, named a couple of people that made my skin crawl. I was polite with, "Oh really?" and "Yes, I know of them."

<p>Kelley, I'm on vacation at our cabin in northern Pennsylvania. Will be here for 2 weeks. I went to a Class of '75 fundraiser for a scholarship we give every year and met a classmate who turned out to be ... A LAWYER. And she lives near me in Washington DC! We chatted for a while, and she named the reporting agency her law firm uses, named a couple of people that made my skin crawl. I was polite with, "Oh really?" and "Yes, I know of them." When she asked me questions, I answered VERY firmly ... "And do you ever work for them, Mary Ann?" Me: "Never." And, "Have you ever worked for them?" Me: "NEVER!" Finally, she named the agency owner and I said, "Yes, I know her. Most reporters in the area do." Then stopped talking. She paused but a split-second before she said, "You don't like her, do you?" My simple answer: "No." I invited her to contact me and we'd have a little chat about that agency, their owner, and the devastation she's wreaked upon the reporting community here. Yes, some love her, but I say she's the devil. Oh, and you mentioned that this devious agency owner was a great salesperson. So is this one ... could sell ice to an Eskimo. Both lawyers and reporters are pulled in under her spell. She a line of bullshit she can serve up! Truth is, yes, she's well known in DC ... and despised. I could fully staff a reporting agency with schedulers, production, videographers and reporters that she's stabbed in the back and left lying along the side of the road. Indeed, the reputations of these agency owners should spread near and far, and I hope it does.</p>

<p>LOL! You guys liked that, huh! :) I just heard that Lauren had to go out and buy a Diamante and start working to help cover deps, so that is where that came from. All hearsay, though. And to the comment you should take the dep and just do it on your own, she would only give you a dep that she can get "reports" back on how you behaved, and she would be calling you, and the attorney would probably pay her whatever we were to invoice.

<p>As if many who set these low rates can do the job, even poorly. They are much better suited to pulling wool over eyes, wining, dining, gifting--but I loved that "hoof it" comment, too (lol).</p>

<p>As for reporters not getting paid what they are worth: some are worth exactly what they are being paid, even less; and for those, keep up the lousy work, as long as you're working for the lowballers. It's those reporters who are excellent, worrying about every comma, every spelling, every utterance, spending vast amounts of time on a transcript for peanuts, yes, those are the reporters that make you go hmmmm. >:(</p>
<p>Now back to this rush--<em>for good money.</em></p>
