Remember how Fox Business Network’s Charlie Gasparino said he couldn’t get a job at the Dallas Morning News back in the day because he didn’t go to Harvard? Well, via Jim Romenesko, we learn that DMN Editor Bob Mong said, “Nuh-uh.” And then Gasparino said, “Uh-huh, I just didn’t talk to you.” And then a couple of commenters said they worked at the DMN and didn’t have Harvard degrees.
So there you go. Glad we could clear that up for you.

He may not have gone to Harvard, but I have it on good authority he did a scene by scene recreation of “Good Will Huntiing” and used to hand out and the Wursthaus before it became a jewelry store…
In fairness, it must go on the record that on at least one occasion those who do DMN’s hiring did favor someone with a Harvard diploma. Does the name Elizabeth Wurtzel ring a bell.
