The thing is...based on all the rules of what you put on the front page....this just wasn’t front-page material. At best, page three material. Then this reporter goes onto write like 5k words on this whole episode....which amazes me that you can draw this out to such a length.
Imagine a couple of guys today in some Houston school....cutting a kid’s hair like this, and some local reporter putting this on page one (won’t ever happen) and then writing more than 1k words on this (would never happen).
In the end, you’ve got wannabe journalists working for the Post, and pretending to be in the same league as Paul Harvey or Edward R Murrow. I’d send them back to the college newspaper or push them to retrain as used-car salesmen.
