Delaware Liberal

The Wilmington News Journal’s editors, David Ledford and Rick Tapscott, are bad people

Ledford and Tapscott, at long last, the time has come. I am calling you two out.

You suck. You are horrible. Your lousy management of the News Journal’s political desk makes George W. Bush and Dick Cheney look competent. You have violated the public trust.

On a morning that the people of Delaware should be waking to the read the about Michael Castle’s blind devotion to George Bush – your paper is silent.

It is not just me saying it. Word on the street is that your reporters WANT to report the truth about Michael Castle. People say that JL Miller and Patrick Jackson WANT to ask legitimate questions, the kinds of questions they were trained to ask – but you dopes edit the shit out of everything and anything that is remotely objective, or that puts Michael Castle in an unkind light gets cut.

How do you live with yourselves? How do you two look in the mirror every morning? H.L. Mencken (ever hear of him?) said that journalists have two jobs. To comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable. You’re editorship of the News Journal spits in Mencken’s face.

Last night Michael Castle voted against the wishes of his constituents and decided to stand with George Bush, endorsing Bush’s management of this war and your paper does not even get a quote from him? No explanation, no justification. NOTHING. That is journalistic malpractice. I feel like getting a class action suit going against the two of you worms. You are pathetic.

Last night Molly Jurusik, Executive Director of the Delaware Democratic Party said, “Instead of voting for increased funding and a responsible strategy for our troops, Mike Castle again chose a blank check for President Bush,” but what do we read of that in today’s New’s Journal? NADA.
What the hell is the deal?

Are you, Ledford and Tapscott, Castle’s lovers?

Seriously, you are pathetic.
