Reporting Reporters

We love them.

We learned about this one from the Fort Worth Weekly.  

Read about Lee Morris in the Fort Worth Weekly here. Then you'll know what's wrong with the local "news".

Once a paper loses its willingness to write the truth, poke sacred cows, and point out graft and corruption, it’s dead.

So Morris wrote a scathing column about the new owner and the new policies, predicted the “end of real journalism at the Times-Record,” changed his byline, and placed the story under a vague headline so as not to attract attention.

He managed to get the story published without his overseers catching on to his one-finger salute.

Then he resigned.
