What is up at the Sentinel?

A week or so ago, the S&E published what was obviously a press release from the Donnelly camp as a 'letter to the editor'. Not that big a deal, except that a press release is written in the third person and it looked pretty stupid as a letter written in the first person. We all know how inept they are at the Sentinel, so I kind of passed it off as 'par for the course'.

Last week, Dann Wuoti writes an email to the fitchburg-hometown email group and it ends up as a letter to the editor. No, Dann never sent it in, and no, he did not want it published as a letter. The evil editor Dr. Jeff MyEnemy, did apologize - sort of. In his email to FH, he explained what happened (yeah, right) and then explained his right to publish it and finally, took a member of the group to task for "negative comments about us for years now." Well done Jeff.

Saturday, the coverage of the Donnelly's sale of property to the College started on page one as a Halliburton type headline. The size and font on page three equalled VE Day.

Normally, I take these as the usual incompetence of the local paper. I haven't made up my mind on these yet - what do you think?
