Bigoted Babbitry


Telling the world of your "100 Years of Pubic (service), making Jay Leno.
Printing nothing on the front page when President Obama was elected (only paper on Earth).
Habitually backing the wrong candidates for election, supporting corruption, endorsing mediocrity, slapping activists, cowering to developers, catering to crooks, censoring letters and columns, campaigning against music and art on St. George Street, leaving public meetings early, ignoring big money in policies falsifying the news, omitting the names of the victim and the alleged shooter in the O'Connell case ab initio, reporting breathlessly when an imposter Ringo Starr appeared at the behest of a hotel PR person, firing all the good reporters because it saves money, running front page headlines on a bogus anti-Gay lawsuit that was quickly dismissed and arrests that are immediately reversed: that's some RECORD.
Worth of Pravda or Izvestia.
Happy New Year, St. Augustine WRECK-IT.
You don't know what a front page is for (omitting key stories, while pumping up trivia).
You don't even know what a newspaper is for (to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, not the reverse).
You're owners and controllers can be downright perverse.
BUT we forgive your devious, supercilious, silly, petty, vindictive "works and pomps."
But we're all laughing at your refusal to post Biggest Story of the Year Results, coronating government staff as if they were "leaders," and attacking Mayor Nancy Shaver for asking questions about the dumb 'ole 450th, a flop and foible of failed Mayor JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR.
She was elected to ask questions.
She will continue to ask questions, whether the Establishment and the WRECKord's ethically-challenged publisher and editor like it, or not.
How gauche and louche.
