Only The News They Choose

It's difficult to figure out what the definition of "newsworthy" is at 20 Franklin Street. For three days in a row, their highest paid writers dwelled on Tiger Woods... Sunday... Monday... and today...

But since Saturday, the only mention of this local news story in the T&G was the dismissive last sentence in Dan Sweeney's review.

I'm sure they all believe that they are martyrs for the cause of "fair and balanced journalism" down there at 20 Franklin Street, but all I've ever been doing here with my responses to their effluvium has been to say how it looks to me out here, outside that monopolistic box... and it ain't pretty.

Blame the Jews - never gets old.
More Hamas, a real solution.

There is a lot of good going on inthis city. Good coming from regular, unconnected, not part of the good ol' boy club, that hardly ever gets print or other media coverage. It is selective and it always was and will be no matter what medium. You just expect a large venue like the T&G would project some diversity cultural, socil economic perspective, ethnic, etc. Nahhhh !!!
