That paper is a disgrace to North Carolina.
I once wrote a letter to the editor criticizing Clinton and got a personal reply back from the editor.
That reply was as abusive as anything one would get from Axelrod.
In the 1940’s and 1950’s the Journal was a highly respected paper. It was locally owned and respected nationally its quality. It was purchased by Media General and is today owned by Berkshire Hathaway. Like many chain local newspapers much of the news copy comes from wire service articles. Cutbacks in the local staff have decimated the quality and quantity of its content. It is a pathetic shadow of its former self and continues to decline in circulation and quality. Like most national chain newspapers it has a liberal editorial point of view. Endorsement of Obama is not a surprise, not that it matters.
