Kearny, NJ | Star-Ledger I'm not sure anyone here has actually read the bastard, three-legged, inbred cousin of the NY Times that is the Newark Star-Ledger, but frankly I'm not surprised that they've essentially thrown journalistic integrity out the window in favor of having some op-ed space filled.
I mean, look at what they strive towards: the Old Grey Lady (who should've been put in a home long ago).

Abortion is murder, Reagan was a hero, Clinton was a sleazeball, Iraq is much better off without Saddam, and the telcos are not trustworthy with American tax dollars. There! I've managed to offend a significant portion of BBR! | |

What can you expect of a rag coming out of that sh!thole?

Beautiful NJ
kudos:11 | The sad part about that is that it has enough name recognition within the state to be a substantial force, if the people running it ever remember what investigative journalism actually is.
Unfortunately, it seems as though journalists/reporters have forgotten that it's their duty to look behind the surface of a story, to identify the major players and to shine a light on all the little creepy, crawly things in the background. There is too much reliance on people with apparent poor research skills, too much happy-face reporting, too much superficiality, too many personal agendas being pushed.
There was a time within living memory when pride was taken in getting to the truth of the matter, but now when the bottom-line competes with journalistic integrity, integrity always seems to lose.
