A friend at the Chicago Tribune told me today that they have begun hiring the cheapest people from the talent pool and that editors are regularly having to re-write entire articles submitted by these "reporters."<br />
Of course, the Trib is supposed to be laying off 70 people this week so probably some of those editors will have other things to worry about.<br />
Of course, the Trib is

It seems to me that I would want to get my facts printed correctly. Is it that the almighty dollar is the most important criterion in our society?

A long time ago when I was in grade school, I was told by a teacher that a headline on a newspaper article was not written by the writer. That comment always stuck in my mind.<br />

When I was 11, my father, a railroad fireman, was hurt in a train wreck where his engineer was killed because he had jumped out a window and was caught by the oil tank.
