I just commented that Forum Communications stock holders were put at risk with every step away from the ladder of journalism the Trib takes. I&#8217;ve been informed that its its a privately owned company. Presumably only high power owners\/investors will take it in the shorts. Good. That makes me feel better.<\/p>\n<p>It was Bob who corrected this for me. Bob took strong issue with a post a couple weeks ago and we had a heated exchange of emails but Bob was looking more for explanations than cheap shots and we settled down to a pretty rational discussion. <\/p>\n<p>As this bit of misinformation on my part shows I&#8217;m not the fount of all knowledge. Furthermore, with so many folks trumpeting some aspects of the Red Plan that I don&#8217;t disagree with I feel no need to shout amen myself. I stick pretty much to the fire and brimstone qualities of the Plan that make it so Red.<\/p>\n<p>My daughter just called to ask me what the sign out front meant and why for heaven&#8217;s sake its upside down. I told her that after reading the Trib this morning I got fed up and felt a compulsion to let the world beyond this blog know what inferior coverage its been providing. As for its being upside down. Well, that&#8217;s a distress signal. Every day for thirty years I spent an hour or more reading through the DNT. If I get past the letters to the editor these days that&#8217;s a minor miracle. <\/p>\n<p>Its not just the Trib. My partner in berry picking (my Father-in-law) told me when he picked up our Trib that it looked just as insubstantial has his Florida daily has become. I talked with a person associated with the Two Harbor&#8217;s paper a few days ago. The paper has half the staff it did before Rob Karwath cleaned them out for Forum. What does that mean for local news? <\/p>\n<p>Is anyone writing about how that community woke up to a financial disaster after building its new &#8220;cost saving&#8221; high school? Not if the Forum has anything to say about what constitutes news. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll keep correcting my mistakes as soon as you see um.
