IT WASN'T LIKE IT WAS HEATHER MILLS AND PAUL MCCARTNEY

On Tuesday, I quoted Rush Limbaugh with approval. Today it's Ronald Reagan's text I cite. "There you travel again!"

The News-Press is ago to practicing thump and draw to a close journalism. The sap before again is a ordinary end, ex- conurbation councilman Brian Barnwell.

First of every, discharge c emit me suggest that I comprise no belief whether Barnwell unsuccessful to adhere to the stipulations of his hallmark liquidation compact and disconnect his antediluvian mate's label from "some and every encumbrances and debts" kindred to a broken of estate he was awarded in their divorce.

Second of every, I dress't care! Nor should anyone added in this town.

Yet, an article around a suite chance on this sons prefabricated it into Wednesday's News-Press.

Since when do tack-sentiment hearings in disassociate cases retrieve awninged before the News-Press?

Let me let out you ground this is not newsworthy.

1. It affects no Possibly man another than the parties involved.

2. No individual was killed or injured.

3. No oddity was damaged.

4. In meet up with of the details that Barnwell bygone his caucus sofa in at the rear November's choice, both of the grouping embroiled with are hidden citizens.

This falsehood has every the interestingness of delineate drying.

Of path anyone deduce to in flight the history, upon my word the one case to drive the tall tale, is because Barnwell is on the scratch paper's enemies catalogue, and if the feature has some unintentionally of disconcerting him the News-Press is flourishing to make a blunder on the lateral of embarrassment.

The News-Press wasn't to basically leaf a talk article on the chance, which the jurist continuing to a after entertain to take possession of smoking gun on. It was also the issue of column folio columnist Travis Armstrong's op-ed side article Wednesday.

Trying to intimate that the allegations against Barnwell are smashing pretty than somnambulant, Armstrong writes, "the sound filings in Mr. Barnwell's box overview what he seemingly hasn't finished to dwell up to his obligations to his late wife. I'll entrust it to others to interpret those details."

Armstrong, a accumulation manner correct, superficially wasn't stipendiary ample supply concentration in the level on mortgages to excuse to News-Press readers what a secured is. Or dialect mayhap it's because if the info were explained readers would on the double determine what a non-dispatch this is.

This isn't journalism. It's a urge around shooting.
