GONZO REPORTING

I am not sure what the opposite of gonzo reporting is, but it is probably the new method adopted by the Free Press/Orangeville Citizen.

"Reassign" the one reporter who actually would show up and report on meetings and events and have Wes the Crypt Keeper Keller just phone it in.

Last week on the front page of the Free Press they listed the date of the NDACT meeting incorrectly, got the location right though-Honeywood arena.

This week in the Orangeville Citizen editoral they report on the "standing room crowd only on the ice surface" Now I was at that meeting and I can tell you two things.

FIRST- there was no reporter from the Free Press/Citizen there;

SECOND: I was NOT standing on the ice surface. Had I been I would have been mowed down by the hockey players and zamboni.

One thing they got right-it was a standing room only crowd. See previous posts for meeting highlights.

Another stellar job Wes and Tom.
