Jackson Jambalaya

No mention of President Dementia's debacle exit from Afghanistan.

You know KF that your mention the C-L again is going to make one of your readers extremely unhappy.

Yes. None of them mentioned underlying conditions to the know on the decline Delta outbreak. Are Doctors and nurses under a gag order from gov Dobbs to not speak on this very important subject ?

The news

Jackson murders

Editorial objectivity?

Hurricane IDA was not front page worthy for the CL until after it hit.

No

A story about OM’s excellent chances to win the SEC and national championship this year?

I enjoyed the article today on Bennie Thompson being the right man to handle the Jan 6 or otherwise "stop Trump" committee. Long article but still no mention of the question that bothers me of all people we send to Washington how could Broke Broke Bennie Go to washington and become a multimillionaire in
a few years.

Also Bennie pretty much acknowledged he was worthless to Mississippi because he was the lone democrat but tried to claims anymonies that come to Mississippi are becuase of him. Dems jsut basically lie now and dont think their voters are not smart enough to catch them

Unbelievable.

I saw a dog yesterday, and I bet they don’t even report on that either. No wonder no one trusts the media these days.

As there is always something missing, and this being a primary reason I do not subscribe, couldn't you provide the answer, I believe that would be more enlightening than me attempting to read a document I otherwise would never read.

Readers/subscribers?

Not one mention of the horrid exit from Afghanistan- the next day and
For many days….
No delivery on Labor Day so,as their recording said,
Their employees could have the day off…
About Benny… How could anybody say he’s qualified to go anywhere near anything to do with Donald Trump: he boycotted trumps inauguration and he boycotted trumps appearance in Jackson dedicate the civil rights museum… Benny da Boycotter is not qualified!

@1:07, I am surprised it wasn't on the front page of the CL. Folks talking like they won the natty. #theywantbama #notheydont.

An entire Monday-Labor Day paper for one thing. Have gotten used to a Thanksgiving paper coming Wednesday night, but they didn't print one at all for this holiday.
Yes, I still get a print edition. Have to for work.

Kind of like the falling tree question where nobody hears it. If a newspaper is printed and nobody reads it, Is it really there?

Absence of article on the psychology of obsession?

"Ask Jack Sun" is missing. Did they drop it?

Think I've got it figured out. Lee Sanderlin didn't steal someone else's work and pass it off as his own on those days.

Absence of article on the psychology of obsession?

Maybe you could submit a guest column considering your years-long personal experience battling the problem?

Liberal rag. Read it for sports. Surely not their left wing view they push.

The reporters (so they say they are) at the local TV stations have gotten horrible. From WLBT's website: "Madison Co. sheriffs search for man bearing ‘D Watts’ tattoo on right arm". How many sheriffs are there in Madison County? I remember only voting for one in the last election.

{BIDEN’S BLUNDERS}
THIS IS ALWAYS LEFT OFF THE HEADLINE. CAREFUL NOT TO EXPOSE A FAILURE OF THE TEMPORARY LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. Definitely a shame that Clarion Ledger is such an embarrassment.

This deal of withholding an S when it should be used and using the S when it should not be used. It drives me up the freakin wall. Can someone please explain this? Is it a form of dyslexia?

I agree it is horrible, but in all honesty we can't blame these young adults.

Most were never taught the basics of English, Math, Science or gawd forbid History.

But they know all about preferred pronouns and fluid gender.

Why didn't the C-L tell readers that the paper would not be published on Labor Day?

I have subscribed for over 40 years, and this is the first time a paper has not been published (with no heads up to subscribers).

There is no news in Pravda, no truth in Tass and not much of either in the Clarion Liar!!!

"Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is."

"What about the people who read The Sun?"

"Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits."

I'll let readers do a little research as to attribution. Hint: it wasn't Trump OR Biden...

11:41 : sure as hell wasn't Biden. That was a mouthful. Imma guess it was Clay Travis.

When I was a reporter, I was told that news was what affects people. The more people affected locally, the more newsworthy. When big national events or international issues surfaced, the local newspaper would try to localize the story. After all, you get the national perspective from national media. People want local from the local media. Mississippi has a ton of military bases and members covering all branches of the service. Our national guard is usually at or near the forefront of many military actions. I think of all the Mississippians who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001, including my own father-in-law (who I am sort of glad didn't live to see this Afghanistan debacle). Yet, I haven't seen the Clarion Ledger our supposed "statewide newspaper," make any real effort to report this story, much less localize it (which would be easy to do in a state with a big military presence). But, I've come to expect nothing but narrative from the CL, certainly not news that affects us this day and time. Lots of harkening back to 60 years ago (and sometimes rightfully so), but rarely anything that really reflects or mirrors the Mississippi of today. In fact I was stunned, but not at all surprised, to read the glowing feature about how Bennie Thompson considers the Jan. 6 commission to be the "capstone" of his career. Well, I guess that's fitting for him. I saw another front page story not long ago on how monumental it is that a clinic specifically catering to Transgenders has opened in Hattiesburg. How many people does that affect? A dozen? Does it merit the front page above the fold? Finally, and certainly telling, is a mention in the story about Lynn Fitch's issues with her father and mother in law, specifically alleging that she is using her position as AG to self-serve her own domestic interests and intimate her step-mother. Well, I'm no Lynn Fitch fan at all. However, in the CL the writer was sure to mention that Lynn's father and their family home in Marshall County lies on land "once owned by the first Grand Wizard of the KKK." What the hell does that have to do with anything? For all I know I could be living in a house "once owned by a member of the KKK." There might even be a CL employee that fits that description. The phrase was Simply inserted to insinuate and foster a narrative: Republicans bad and are the modern rendition of racists. I also read a column the other day by some woke editor bemoaning the fact that their newsroom is only 20.45 percent African American and Mississippi's population is almost half African American. So? How do you "fix" that? Does the ratio of graduating journalism majors reflect population statistics? Woke BS. Here's hoping this pitiful newspaper one day bites the dust like any business with a shrinking customer base eventually does. It's pathetic. That's why they can't keep staff. That's why the paper has shrunk significantly in both circulation and physical size. In fact, according to the Mississippi Press Association's circulation stats the paper's circulation has shrunk five times from what it used to be just two decades ago. I feel sorry for the ad sales people who are trying to pimp this pitiful and transparently, hopelessly liberal rag.

We know a newspaper is in trouble when:
1. There is no local news of any sort of the front page
2. Nothing local because the editors whored part of that front page to a mail-fraud advertiser.
I worked at a newspaper in the late 80s. With each passing day and crap like the Clarion-Lier out there I am glad I no longer have a "journalism" (or as it really means these days, paid public spinning) career. Heck, I think we would be lucky if there were any impartial "journalists" left...

"Imma guess it was Clay Travis."

And speaking of boobs...

I don't know precisely, but I'd guess that Travis was a very young child when that was written and said. Here's another hint: Cambridge Footlights...and not Python, Monty.
