I saw that. Nice going, ND!

This is Skyler's photo. Condolences and Prayers to this young man's family and friends at this sad time.

That is just sad. The poor family.

The photo used in Skyler's obit is that of 72 year old Mr. Boyd Jones whose obit is posted below Skyler's.

Pathetic.

the News Dispatch has corrected their jaw-droppingly stupid mistake.

Newest online News-Dispatch blunder:

Title and photo depicts Michigan City Pee Wees winning Mid-America Championship at Ames Field but the article is the La Porte @ Crown Point girls basketball game recap:

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.

They corrected and posted a new link for the Pee Wee team with the correct game recap. I wonder if the N-D would have done that if I didn't point out the blunder here on CBTL.

Your probably right, all these mistakes happen because the paper is understaffed and probably underpaid and all the work in done up in Benton Harbor.

Why is this so difficult?

Update - it's 2 days later, they posted my comment pointing out their error, and they STILL haven't fixed it. Does anyone work at the ND anymore?

Well they fixed it - only took 72 hours. (rolls eyes)

You must get some enjoyment out of wasting time if this is the case...

Guess what - I changed my mind!

Welcome to America.

I suppose I could note the humor of someone who is sitting in Japan writing, "Welcome to America."

Instead, I'll just commend you on your continued perfection in life. It has to be difficult never having made a single mistake over the years.

Kudos.

Whatever.

When I was at Elston we called the "News Disgrace"

The News Dispatch has the same problems that most newspapers have that are in small and medium sized towns. The newspaper business has been a consolidating industry for a few decades. Most reporters and editors put together several newspapers, not just one. Most of the so called local papers are no longer locally owned. When there are changes or transitions in personnel, easy things get missed like coverage of city council meetings for a month or two.

I gave up knocking the News Dispatch when I was a kid in the 70's. No sense kicking the dog.

The online edition of the N-D has improved greatly since Parkhouse became managing editor but please remove officer Francisco Rodriguez name from underneath this scumbags photo.

They fixed it. Francisco Rodriguez seems like a fine police officer.
