A Word About Our Local Paper….

I ranted in an earlier post about an editorial that was in the paper. A couple of things. First…they did NOT bury the lead on that, they missed the point. I thought I would make that distinction. Next, I don’t want to be one of those guys that whines after something negative is in the paper. I would rather use it to inspire more conversation and I certainly don’t want to “pre-whine” wondering what that paper might say. That happens a lot here and it bugs me. Why? Well, except for the editorial page, there is nothing in the paper that is “slanted”. It’s old school baby. They send reporters out and get a story. I can’t stand it when anyone tears EITHER of our local papers down, because no matter what they want to get the truth out and almost to a person, they love this community.

I think it was a little earlier when I wondered why truth wasn’t part of journalism anymore.
