| I took this photo at Whole Foods Market in Paramus on Aug. 30, and lived to tell about it. Today, The Record's lazy editors claim the company would "not allow reporters and photographers into any of its three North Jersey locations." What a joke. |
The lead story on Page 1 of The Record today doesn't bother exploring why all those rich job creators -- who are enjoying the lowest tax rates in more than 50 years -- are refusing to hire workers and help restore the battered economy.
Instead, The Record and other media are licking their chops as they gauge the impact of the latest jobs report on President Obama's chances of winning a second term.
The media is obsessed with landing the biggest story of this young century -- the defeat of the nation's first black president -- and will twist the facts to sell papers and mislead voters.
Danger of sports
Editor Marty Gottlieb continues to squander front-page space on sports and school spirit (A-1 photo package).
But the danger of all this devotion to sports is clear from the death of a 71-year-old Haworth man who went to see his grandson's freshman soccer game (A-1 and L-1).
More Law & Order
Head Assignment Editor Deirdre Syke's Local news section today gives readers 12 Law & Order stories or reports on the police, including a gee-whiz cover photo of a teen driver who couldn't handle his Mustang's power (L-1, L-2, L-3, L-6 and L-7).
The only Hackensack news today (L-3) and Friday (L-1) is re-opening of the former Court Street Bridge -- coverage ordered by the Borg siblings, who are dreaming of the many millions they'll reap with the sale of 20 nearby acres.
The old River Street headquarters of The Record and North Jersey Media Group is far more valuable with the bridge's alternate route to interstate highways.
What's the point of today's Road Warrior column on which state has the worst drivers -- based on readers' e-mails and an "insurance report" (L-1)?
It merely highlights the lack of enforcement by state, county and local police -- a subject The Record has avoided like the plague.
Our dead neighbors
Two local obituaries of interesting residents (L-6 on Friday) makes readers wonder why there is so little coverage of their neighbors while they are still alive, and so much coverage of the Borg family's friends and business associates.
Pure organic food
But the big photo of organic fruit was taken at Fairway Market, near the Woodland Park newsroom, even though that small chain is a minor player in organics -- compared to Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's.
In a shameless admission, the story actually says Whole Foods wouldn't "allow" reporters and photographers into their stores.
Were they wearing signs? I've taken numerous photos in Whole Foods and many other supermarket chains. What's with the so-called pros at The Record?
In Friday's 3-star rave, Restaurant Reviewer Elisa Ung doesn't explain why the 16-seat Francesca's Pizzeria in Lyndhurst doesn't serve wild-caught fish or say whether the sardines served are fresh or canned (BL-18-19).
This place is perfect -- for takeout.
