Local sloppy journalism

exposed in "The Record News/EMC".

In the April 20th edition, a letter writer bemoans the fact that MP Scott Reid , has not been seen very much in the southern end of the LFLA riding.... Now, I had noted that the volume of correspondence with constituents had decreased greatly since the Cons had taken office... Not surprising, as it's much easier to protest from an opposition point of view ... I also took it that Mr. Reid was likely very busy with an important position within the government ... We don't really know what that job is, but I'm sure it's important. When he didn't get cabinet post, this came as no surprise to me ... why give a cabinet position to someone who is almost guaranteed to get re-elected with over 50% of the popular vote ??? Might just as well save that job for someone who's in a little bit tighter of a race...

Back to the original point .... The letter writer. Seems the letter writer is somewhat more than you would be led to believe ... an average taxpayer ... perhaps a Liberal supporter, but an average taxpayer nonetheless.

NO, no .... this was someone special... none other than the Liberal President for the LFLA riding ... in the original letter neither the author or the newspaper BOTHERED to mention this....

So ... either this indicates that The Record News has a Liberal bias (no.. not a newspaper with a Liberal bias....really ?)

OR

It indicates that the editors are simply lazy and didn't bother to check it out !! BTW ... it didn't take too much to look it up ... they just had to Google the authors name .. and there it is !

Good work to the author of this weeks letter for exposing this... and shame on "The Record News" AGAIN.
