Who the hell is John Taylor and why did DI Smith campaign for him on his OWN election day?

I guess John Taylor got 1,200 write votes to secure the victory.

Unfortunately the C-L is incapable of feeling embarrassment over their performance as a newspaper.

kingfish, can you please let us know what Jerry Mitchells New role at the Clarion Ledger is?

They also identified the U.S. Attorney on the front page as the District Attorney.

first thing we noticed when we opened the paper today :(

Okay ... okay ... okay. Make it a $5000 Grocery Giveaway! Happy now?

CL is such a joke.

What we have here is a failure to communicate. And Kingfish has provided the evidence that McGee will need in order to have the election overturned. That Young was seen campaigning for someone not in the contest proves fraud at the polls, pure and simple. This whole thang needs to be did again and this time Gene will load up on three piece boxes first at Popeyes. This kind of thing is expected in Canton but not in Ridgeland, the apartment capitol of the world.

I also noticed that they called an Assistant US Attorney an Assistant US District Attorney in a front page caption today.

Delivery boy - check your driveway tomorrow morning


(I posted something similar yesterday in response to this question and it never appeared - maybe I touched a sensitive nerve up in here)

off topic but need legal advise. Can to request a court to act prior to its next hearing on a civil case?

That's not DI Smith.

The prior two posts are nonsense.

Its called trying to confuse the thread.

KF: I knew you would pick up on this. Thanks for the laugh. I read that in the paper when I got home and then logged on to see if you noticed it too.. Clearly you did, and clearly you see where I actually go to get my local news coverage.

I think it's clear they no longer give a s*** at the C-L and just send the rough draft to the printer without putting much effort into proofing. To think this paper once won a Pulitzer.. bygone, halcyon days. I would cancel my subscription if the Wednesday and Sunday coupons didn't pay for the paper.

6:49,

Check out some of the many coupon websites.
I think you can find equal or better deals than are advertised in the CL

CL news dept. has been hollowed out by corporate masters. Old vets with institutional memory are almost all gone. So sad.

Institutional memory? Can you cite the value of that? The best and worst example of institutional memory is Bill Minor.

Clarion Ledger never had a decent news department to hollow out.

It was also a run off. Not a citywide special election.

It's official. Gannett is putting the CL behind a paywall by the end of this year. Appears the end is getting nearer.

To 2:36, Mr. (Mrs.?) Shadowfax,
Institutional memory isn't strictly limited to journalism. It also involves other aspects of the paper, especially production. If you think the newsroom is a cluster****, you should see how it's printed. Mediocre doesn't even begin to describe it. C-L is toxic, both to its employees and this community. Sites like this are the new paradigm of journalism. The sooner Gannett folds, the better.

Just *moi* personally, I would only miss Dear Abby and Apartment 3-G, but I suppose those are available online. So, if the leaky, listing sorry ship CL finally sinks, there will be no tears shed in this household.

Oh---another guaranteed giggle-and-eye-roll is that beefy food writer, Kara Kimbrough---whom we refer to as "Puddin' Piecake" in honor of her hilariously fat-and-sugar-laden recipes. On the front page we can read about our state's obesity woes, then we can turn to the Wednesday food section and find out why!
