It’s been quite a while since I’ve read a Gazette story because the website has been so bad for so long, but I’m amazed by how poorly this story was written for a major newspaper. The Gazette has never been a great paper but this story, while interesting, was painful to read. It reads as if it were published pretty much exactly as the journalist submitted it, with an absolute minimum of copy editing.

The Gazette has improved its page layout (it could hardly have been made worse) but you’re right, the article badly needs editing.

Bill Brownstein was never a good writer, even when he had editors… Between him and Josh Freed it is a race to the bottom. Post Media has thrown in the towel, and tacitly acknowledged that the only people who read the Gazette are over 80 years old and complain when something they have read for the past 60 years is taken away.
