Friday was the 4th straight day of a Romeo Langford college choice story with top billing in the CJ's "Indiana Newsletter," finally supplanted today by the opioid crisis, another recurring chestnut that at least constitutes genuine news.
This vacuous irrelevance was accompanied by a fresh spate of unwanted blue-wrapped street spam.
Ah, but we have all been here before.
The Courier-Journal's "Indiana Newsletter": More Indiana coverage, perhaps, but is any of it really news?
When I think of all the possible news of the world, and all the conceivable news in Southern Indiana, and then this being a fairly typical "Indiana Newsletter" via e-mail ... the CJ's terminal decline gets even sadder.
It the best they can do: Sports, entertainment and celebrity hokum.
It's profoundly depressing.
And here:
Down with the Courier-Journal's blue-bag-recycling-hypocrisy. Fact is, it's litter.
Free speech my ass: The Courier-Journal can spin this any way it likes, but it's litter, plain and simple. Why do we allow representatives of the newspaper to trash the city? I'm not sure, but perhaps the city council's forthcoming litter ordinance will take this into consideration.
Not only was there no headline about our bombing of Syria on the front page in giant type, there was no mention of it anywhere in the CJ at all.
ReplyDeleteIf it happens after 6pm don't count on seeing it in the CJ. Too busy printing editions for other cities. We received better "late" coverage 50 years ago. And they wonder why readership and subscriptions are down. smh
