Ed Morrison · Tower City: Watergate redux
August 9th, 2008
This is all getting a little weird.
First we have the case of the missing photograph.
Now we have Hagan sounding like Nixon, assuring us that everything is OK, because, well, the commissioners are not crooks.
Hagan criticized skeptics who associate the project with the ongoing investigation. Nobody has been proven guilty, he said.
Medical mart’s cost jumps $136 million, tax revenue estimate rises $90 million
After fifteen years of studying this project, they still don’t know what the convention center should cost.
The only good that will come from this mess: The Plain Dealer could win a Pulitzer.

Ed, I encourage you to make some qualitative distinctions here. Local TV I teams have become, for the most part, the functional “news” equivalent of food-fight shows such as Jerry Springer’s. I don’t know how much stock I’d put in their stories. In their classic manner, here they’re grasping at a fairly microscopic gotcha piece of a sprawling story that they should be trying to come to terms with, but won’t. I would hope you don’t encourage them in their structural irresponsibility by calling too much attention to this kind of stuff.

You always struck me as a fairly serious guy. I guess I just haven’t ever seen enough of your lighter side. But then, it is August…

John, I think it has to do more with the material.

I didn’t know they now gave Pulitzers for p.r. and cheerleading.
