Two Page 1 stories, an editorial and an editorial cartoon today continue the editors' romance with Governor Christie.
The Record treats the GOP bully like a mighty chief executive who single-handedly brought back New Jersey from the ravages of Superstorm Sandy, and who will somehow make his foolish no-tax policies work.
The editors -- from Marty Gottlieb to Alfred P. Doblin -- continue to promote Christie's massive public relations/reelection campaign despite his dismal record since he took office in January 2010.
Missing the story
On the Local front, Road Warrior John Cichowski continues to miss the biggest development affecting road deaths -- the dramatic decline in enforcement by the New Jersey State Police (L-1).
Hundreds of troopers have left in the past 25 years and were never replaced. The force once had 3,000 members.
No longer, as any driver can tell from all of the speeding, tail-gating and weaving maniacs on the parkway and turnpike.

Mental paralysis
Cichowski reminds readers of all those seemingly able-bodied people they see using handicapped parking spaces -- especially at the gym. They must be mentally disabled.
In another e-mail to the reporter and managers, a concerned reader points out Cichowski's crippled reasoning in his previous column.

From hunger
I looked at the Better Living section today to see if there is any interesting food coverage or if Publisher Stephen A. Borg had named a new food editor.
All I found was a piece on grilling artery clogging sausages on BL-5.
However, a bonus today was Staff Writer Lindy Washburn's heart-stopping cover story on the dramatic operation that saved Englewood cardioligist Jeffrey Mitchel (BL-1).
Talk about Gottlieb burying a Page 1 story to make room for more Christie B.S. The circle is complete.
I was also wondering at what point The Record and some other NJ media are going to stop being cheerleaders for Chris Christie and the Jersey Shore. I can see giving a boost to the shore, but the coverage is ad nauseam and not everyone who lives in NJ flocks to the overpriced shore rentals and boardwalk schlock.
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly. Greedy property owners and high rents keep the shore from being everything it could be to more people.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, I returned to the block in Bradley Beach where we once owned a home (we spent the summers there when I lived in Brooklyn). A neighbor was asking more than $1 million for a similar place. Ridiculous.
