| You can have sleazy journalism delivered to your door. |
President G. Jeremiah Ryan under-spent his annual expense account in raising $3.8 million last year for the Bergen Community College Foundation, but he was voted out Tuesday night -- thanks to a witch hunt by The Record (A-1).
So, you see, when critics attack the Woodland Park daily for its poor job of covering local news, Editor Francis Scandale, head Assignment Editor Deirdre Sykes and Staff Writer Pat Alex can point to how their public-service journalism brought down Ryan.
Baking news
The heat wave began Sunday. The weather picture on Page 1 today seems a little late.
When will The Record examine the questionable practices at tycoon Rupert Murdoch's properties in the United States, including the New York Post and Fox Television (A-1)?
Murdoch has reaped untold riches from sleazy journalism. A sidebar on A-8 gushes over the actions of his gold-digging wife at a hearing Tuesday in London.
Readers weigh in
For every letter supporting President Obama, Editor Charles Saydah seems to print two from his critics (A-12).
Does crackpot James Bell of Washington Township expect anyone to take him seriously when he calls the country "Obama's Marxist utopia"?
Letter writer Catherine Walsh of Englewood finds a huge hole in Sykes' coverage of the city, noting "half the shops are empty in town."
Imagine what Sykes could have printed on the front of Local today if she didn't run a story and photo on a non-injury fire at a used-car lot in Little Ferry.
Good appetite
Road Warrior John Cichowski gives readers his fifth column in a row on long lines at the Motor Vehicle Commission (L-1).
Another filler photo appears on L-3, showing a car deliberately driven into a deli to protest its fatty pastrami.
After you spend $30 0r $40 and a couple of hours preparing lobster stew from the recipe on the Better Living front today, make an appointment with your doctor to have your cholesterol checked (F-1).
