“The public, you know, thinks that a man on a newspaper is valued because he knows what to write, but the truth is, he holds his job because he ordinarily knows what not to write.” - Isaac Erwin Avery, city editor, Charlotte Observer (19001904) Simple recording of history as it happens, with a minimum of hyperbolic or vitriolic opinion and spin control, occurs less and less these days. What a renegade figure skater ate for breakfast has become front page news, relegating the reporting of the public record to the inside pages of the newspaper and the latter half of the network news broadcast. We seem to have become absorbed and fascinated by tragedy, intrigue and soap opera behavior, as though another misfortune might somehow elevate us from the oft-times humdrum rhythms of our individual lives. 09/27/2023 12:00 AM

Thoughts On 2nd Amendment, Climate Change, Hunter Biden
Sept. 22, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: A Republican candidate for the Virginia’s legislature has sent out fliers announcing that he supports the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Supreme Court decisions have guaranteed a very permissive view of the right to keep and bear arms, so that campaign plank doesn’t require much courage. Meanwhile, in Washington, Republicans in Congress are seeking for evidence that Hunter Biden discusses his legal troubles with his father. 09/27/2023 12:00 AM

Sept. 21, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: What Hitler and his minority party admired about the U.S. of his time was referred to as “the U.S. model”: voter suppression, gerrymandering, immigration restriction of non-Aryans, mixedrace marriages outlawed, propaganda as education. It was hate wrapped in the flag. 09/27/2023 12:00 AM
