Okay - I've posted stuff about the ND and I don't want to gum up the board with any more threads. So I'll just use this one. If you're not interested please skip over it.
As I've said many times, the News Dispatch is one of those hometown institutions that's been part of my life since I was a kid in Edgewood in the 50's. And to be fair they do get it right a lot of times. But in the last couple of years - apparently due to budget/staff cuts - the paper's really gone downhill. That's just sad - but it also pisses me off that someone in power is letting this happen. I'll not be posting Deb Sederberg gaffes. She's obviously a tolerated lost cause. So - today's rant. Is a 10-year-old running the online edition? How many times to we see pictures like this? Does whoever's doing that NOT know that you can't just take a thumbnail file, stretch it ten times its original size, and have it not look like crap? They do this constantly. From today's story about the park idiocy. First the thumbnail - and then a screenshot of how it came out. Again, it is incomprehensible that someone is looking at this and approving it. End rant. |

I started this rant thread 3 years ago. In the ensuing time I've come to accept the News Dispatch, warts n' all. It is what it is. There's something f'd up nearly every day - pointing it out here is just a waste of time, IMO.
