| Ex-CIA Director David Petraeus. Is there a medal for adultery? (Wikipedia) |
Who said Editor Marty Gottlieb of The Record can't turn on a dime and respond to breaking news?
Look at the twin coverage of Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane David on Page 1 today.
But does Gen. David Petraeus' affair really deserve to be on the front page of a North Jersey daily paper five days in a row?
Hey, Marty. You're not at The Times anymore.
Pay more attention to how your local editors -- Deirdre Sykes and Dan Sforza -- are failing miserably every day in their mission to deliver news from Hackensack and many other communities.
Property tax news
Poor Governor Christie. His preposterous statement on property taxes got pushed below the fold today.
Christie said towns can exceed the state's 2 percent annual property tax cap to pay for the cost of cleaning up after Sandy, "meaning some residents in storm-ravaged municipalities could face higher taxes" (A-1).
Could face higher taxes? Haven't property taxes gone up every year Christie has been in office -- with no Hurricane Sandy to blame?
With The Record doing his public relations, Christie can fire his many spokespeople and his spin doctor.
Curling up with a good study
On the Local front, Road Warrior John Cichowski tries to keep readers entertained with his take on a study that found women drivers are in the majority now (L-1).
Big deal.
The roads won't be any safer because of a hard core of male drivers I see on the turnpike and parkway who race each other, cut each other off, tailgate and weave in and out of slower traffic.
However, Sykes and Sforza are keeping up with utility pole news, as a photo on L-3 demonstrates.
Heat but no light
In Better Living, a story on home generators fails to explore the impact of the noise they make on neighbors who don't have lights or heat, and now can't sleep (BL-1).
Nor does The Record discuss whether a standby generator that automatically kicks in when the power goes out and runs on natural gas would add to the value of your home.
Pork and beans
For the second week in a row, Food Editor Susan Leigh Sherrill promotes a cookbook recipe featuring pork filled with harmful animal antibiotics and growth hormones (BL-1).
