Not very smart but corrupt. That's how I would describe the editors of the Kingston Freeman. They're lazy too. I would add intellectually lazy but they don't seem to have any intellect at all.
Last week they ran, in their usual unconscious way, an Associated Press story announcing the latest diktat from the Centers for Disease Control, the CDC. With this headline:
"Vaccinated teachers and students don't need masks, CDC says"On the story announcing this new judgment, I made this comment:
That was too much for the low-rent slob censors to deal with. They censored the comment. When I noted that they had censored my comment, they censored that comment as well.
They have no, zero credibility as men of the Fourth Estate (the Press, as we used to call it) or even just as men. They are gutless fools. It's impossible to underrate them. Impossible to say that there is a bottom to their failure because it is bottomless. They fail in every category of print journalism that applies and are happy to fail even more when it's brought to their attention.
They can barely provide coverage of local news. It's embarrassing to watch them try. "Budget cuts," you know, that are now institutionalized and as bottomless as the editors failures to imagine workarounds. And their regional, state, national, world coverage is just one AP story after another, which they slide off their online platform's front page before comments can reach the immediate reader. That's their strategy for dealing with any comment or correction of any AP story, to get rid of the story as soon as possible, delaying the "approval" of comments so that readers will be far less likely to see them (and there are few readers to begin with).
