Porn Valley- Gene Ross posts: For a reporter who cites e-mails attributed to third world greaseballs swearing so-far unsubstantiated claims about actress Bianca Biaggi being HIV positive, Scott Ross, who’s obviously scratching at the urinal of Mike Ross with this public outburst https://adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=3618, can hardly use words like”defamatory” and “libel” in the same letter with a straight face.

And, lest we forget, wasn’t it Scott Ross’ deft handling of wordplay and syntax several weeks ago that also prompted his red-faced employer to retract similar statements that hung an HIV positive anchor around the neck of performer Dynasty? Dynasty has since hit the road, I’m told, probably out of mortal embarrassment and shame.

And in a fit of Hearstian pique, wasn’t it the same Scott Ross who betrayed an “off the record” confidence last year that nearly resulted in an ugly lawsuit between Dennis Hof and Steve Seidman? And wasn’t it the same Scott Ross who attempted to turn what was an obvious squawk box conversation with Rob Spallone into a felony conviction? Journalism’s loss will certainly be ambulance chasing’s gain if Scott Ross ever leaves his 9 to 5 job.

Then, on an obvious roll, reporter Ross continued toward his date with Pulitzer destiny this week with successively brilliant stories about AB 2798, one titled “Adult Industry STD Bill Dead, but not Forgotten”; the other headlined, “Bill Seeking to Regulate Adult Industry Granted Hearing”.

What you probably missed, which should be brought to attention, is the fact that reporter Ross simply screwed up the first story, according to lobbyist Mike Ross. But what really made it look obvious is when reporter Ross took aerosol to his humiliating public fart with a cover your ass, bill-rising-from-the-dead-follow up story, which accomplished nothing except if you were looking for a good Easter Sunday parable.

That Scott Ross appears to use the words “substitute teacher” and “law school student” in almost derisive context would support Mike Ross’ claim that there was an adversarial nature to their interview right from the get-go.

Lobbyist Ross says as much, quoting his comments to reporter Ross, thusly: “Look you’re not going to back me into a corner and you’re not going to try to make me look bad and I’m not going to answer your questions. I’m not going to deal with it. I don’t need to talk to you; you need to talk to me.”

And the fact that Mike Ross also suggests that Scott Ross remove his head out of Mark Kernes’ ass [Kernes has always voiced a distate for lobbyist Ross], basically sounds like it was reporter Ross with a tomahawk packed in his agenda.

Obviously coveting Mike Ross’ beaver pelt on his totem pole, Scott Ross vies for the last word with rapier, debate-class precision: “He [Mike Ross] has attributed statements to myself that I did not make.” Unless I missed something, I couldn’t find statement-one that Mike Ross actually attributes to Scott Ross.

With game, set and match on the line, reporter Ross goes on to say that lobbyist Ross’ conversation was, psssst, recorded which sounds basically like a waste of time and tape to me because in neither story is Mike Ross actually quoted or referred to. But with reporter Ross’ compelling need to summon an aggressive reply to lobbyist Ross, I would suspect that Mike, as a “substitute teacher” made more of an impact than vice-versa.

But to that I would only hazard a guess since Mike Ross, during the course of our interview, kept referring to Scott Ross as “Steve”.
