The Strib's coverage of Minneapolis is a Minneapolis issue valid for this
list. The Strib's coverage of the Schiavo case (and other further flung
issues) is not.
My apologies to the list manager but you missed the point of my original
post. I am not raising the issue of the Schiavo case for discussion but the
trend of the Strib under its new owners to not cover local news like it used
to and its shift toward right wing propaganda in place of information the
public needs to know. It seems to be turning toward tabloid spin than
journalistic integrity. I used to two stories on the Schiavo autopsy as a
case in point. But how about the lack of coverage on the Gurban Stone
controversy or its strange silence last December during the annointing of
Gurban over a much better candidate when only a year earlier under the
Cowles the Strib had brought up the Gurban/MRPA/Pulltab controversy after
his selection then.
That was the point of discussion I was starting--the changes in coverage in
the Strib and the direction it seems to be heading.
