The Doug Williams/News Journal Approach to Politcal Reporting
I found this graphic at a story about education - but given the NJ's recent political reporting I think it sums up the situation at the News Journal far better than I could with mere words.
I'm not pissed about that - but the emptyheaded transcribing of Castle's and Carper's talking points without digging into the real story in any real way was just lazy journalistic malpractice.
And there is a real Delaware story to be found here.
The current tariff suspensions are part and parcel of the long downward arc that began with the Dupont downsizings in the 80s. The manufacturing jobs were offshored; now the companies want to be rewarded for their offshoring practices and relieved of even the minimal burden of the import fees.
