What the local banter is?

I have no fault for the hard working men and women that put their minds, their lives and their families perpetual happiness in jeopardy for the pursuit of a new story. I have personally seen great examples of them going to great lengths to get a story and report it fairly.

What really bothers me and suggest to some of my readers here, the Clark County newspaper's editor-in-chief might want to change his local Press Talk weekly threads to the  monikor of "Cranky's Corner" so that he can give us the scoop on what the thinks the news was about according to his opinion. Because literally every friday there is a new edition being written for inclusion in Saturdays paper and web site.

And with no prescriptive relief here, it reminds me of an old cranky man who bellows into a microphone to be recorded and then some wise secretary takes the data down from the reel-to-reel and puts it in some semblance and form for the weekend paper. Saturdays paper tends to be the lowest circulation of all the week. So whatever he says won't get in front of most of the local people unless he makes it front and center on the local papers website.

So if you are interested in reading one man's opinion of the news as HE sees it, please jump over to the local newspaper and let him know what you think of his thoughts.
