In the post I refer to below, David takes the Picayune (and some other local journalists) to task for lazy and irresponsible reporting of what is shaping up to be a disasterously mismanaged recovery effort. And while they may indeed be shamelessly resting on their Pulitzers, the T-P editorial staff has made some other egregious errors over the past few months.. some of which I've mentioned. They've scaled back the Thursday food section and merged it with the Living section. Some of the most useful reporting in this paper appears in the Money section which has been similarly de-emphasized for some reason. And, of course, the readership continues to be bludgeoned with one pretentious and stifflingly unfunny Chris Rose column after another. But Saturday, I think our local rag may have hit a new low.
After sitting out in the heat enjoying the Tomato Festival, I decided to retire to the cooler more comfortable environs of Molly's at the Market to relax and maybe work a little on the... but wait... no.. they didn't... did they really? Yep.. looks that way. I turned the Saturday T-P inside out at least three times before I finally came to grips with the horrid fact that it CONTAINED NO CROSSWORD PUZZLE. I called Daisy immediately to.. to.. well I had to tell somebody.
Me: That's it. They've gone too far. I'm sending them a mail bomb.
Daisy: I don't think a bomb will really help them improve the paper.
Me: Oh yes it will.
I am still seething... I've never been so insulted by a media outlet in my life.
