The Tampa Tribune has a profile of Fox Business Network’s Charlie Gasparino, a guy who knows a thing or two about a thing or two when it comes to business reporting. He worked at the Tribune back in the day — but he tried to get a job at the Dallas Morning News. Why didn’t they hire him? He told the Tribune: “I had been turned down by the Dallas Morning News because I didn’t have the right pedigree — a Harvard degree.” That comment, I presume, is aimed at Mssrs. Decherd and Halbreich.

Gee, I know dozens and dozens of people who work/worked at the DMN who didn’t go to Harvard. Some in management. How did THAT happen?
I know some who didn’t finish college. Not sure what the point is here.
why would you go to Harvard to take a low paying job?
Gasparino has a point. I got a job at the DMN and went to Northwestern. It’s the Harvard of the Midwest, you know.
I am a distinguished graduate (on the the six-year plan) of Arizona State University, known as “the Harvard of Tempe.”
