The WRecKord Was Wrong to Print Government Handout on TDC, Discouraging Public Participation -- Self-Serving Snobbery, Yellow Journalism






The WRecKord was wrong to print a government handout, which in its print version used the word "unqualified" several times before the names of citizens who filed their applications to be on the TDC.

The handout came from either the TDC or the County Attorney.

The WRecKord did not bother checking with anyone listed -- it sought no comments.

The WReckord missed obvious qualifications on the applications.

The WReckord did not print a retraction/correction.

Remember Richard Jewell -- falsely accused of being the Olympic bomber, based on government leaks?

The WReckord may as well change its name to the "Unwelcome Wagon" -- discouraging public participation in our government, while printing meaningless drivel.
