Image by artbymags via FlickrHackensack readers haven't seen the details of the proposed city budget and tax hike, but the editors have seen fit to order daily coverage of the Passaic County trial of a former nanny accused of having sex with a 12-year-old boy. It's the tabloid side of The Record of Woodland Park -- the kind of sensational news these desperate editors seize on day after day in the absence of legitimate stories.
The front page today reminds me of when The Record was an afternoon paper and editors covered most of A-1 with a "patch" -- a soft-news story and photo or graphic exploring social and legal issues, and many other topics. Shocking what kids say when shielded by anonymity on a social-networking site. But no surprise when you read some of the anonymous comments on Eye on The Record.
The editors waited for a wire service story to report on Page 1 today suspicions that BP hasn't been telling the full truth about the enormity of the gushing oil well or its potential damage, and how government regulators have been hoodwinked. Still, The Record still cannot muster any editorial outrage.
Has Publisher Stephen A. Borg ordered Editorial Page Editor Alfred P. Doblin and other editorial writers to confine themselves to New Jersey topics -- as he did initially with Margulies the cartoonist?
There is no Hackensack or Englewood news in Local today. It's no-food-coverage Thursday in Better Living.
