Jackson Jambalaya

My clarion ledger does not get delivered before 8:30 a.m.

I wouldn't even wipe my butt with it.

Nothing about Tater and weed. Nothing about The West Family getting mugged. Nothing about Greta Thunberg in a thong.

Decorating sugar skulls for a Mexican holiday is front page news!!? Nero is fiddling again...

The story doesn't fit the narrative. Marlon doesn't like that kind of news

When the supposedly largest paper in Mississippi can find Only one obituary to report, it seems a little odd.

No comment necessary.....their silence pretty much says it all!!!!

I didn't want to wake up my parrot to ask him.

Does anybody know what the circulation of the Ledger these days. Couple weeks ago Sam Hall who helped destroy the Ledger and is now running the Tupelo paper said the Clarion Ledger is no longer the biggest newspaper in Mississippi. Didn't say who is bigger but I assume the Tupelo paper is. Pathetic

I looked to, not expecting to find anything. There is no local news worth reading about, and TV news is superficial. Sadly to say, JJ is about the only source. :)

Northside Sun is white Republican. JFP is lost in the 60s. Mississippi Today will keep us tuned in on the Delta and major scams (which is a good thing), but Jackson crime never appears as far as I can remember. I wish they would put Anna on the Jackson crime beat, or to do a deep dive into why Lumumba is such a failure. Better yet, put a good black reporter with back-up from Anna.

I loved the line from Ben Allen: "If I hear any more from the mayor about 'root causes' I'm going to vomit." Something like that. Got that news from Nextdoor.

You mean the Mississippi Today that blames Republicans for Jackson crime?

let’s see if the lyft story makes it tomorrow..may have broken after the deadline

No story about the Belhaven family being carjacked, robbed & threatened with death while trick or treating

Print journalism. Yesterday’s news tomorrow.

@3:48 I put my dad's obituary in the Clarion-Ledger about a month ago and it cost almost $600 for basically four paragraphs.

So yeah, one obituary, makes sense. I think there were four on the day my dad's ran.

(and for the record, I only did it because he was of a generation that would have expected to be in the paper, and I felt that should be honored)

Nothing about Mistletoe Marketplace....

I read through all this bull shit only to find out there is no answer to this very important mystery question?

If you had Zuckerberg's money could you afford to spend more than 24 bucks for a head-rug?

Did I win?

I didn't include a full page mistletoe ad

Nothing about crime or Mary Jane.

Since no one cares, why does anyone care? It truly pains me to type this, but it is a shitty little paper for what has become a shitty little city. You should not expect erudition in a wasteland of attrition.

Kingfish, I would argue that MT doesn’t even cover Jackson crime rather than blaming it on Republican candidates… unless you are referring to the DHS scandal which is Jackson crime and Deeputy Phil’s fault.

See Bobby Harrison story from earlier this year.

“You should not expect erudition/in a wasteland of attrition.” Huzzah for 7:37 p.m.! I hereby declare thee Poet Laureate of this site. Verily hast thou inspired me…

In the town of Lumumba
You find dumb and dumba
In very large numba.

Appreciate your efforts KF. More present illumination is the answer, not less. Real life, real corruption, government incompetence. Learn and tell the truth. The censorship of the MSM, the rump of the Democrats, has worked far too many times to divide this country for political gain. Thanks for doing the work to stop the lies.

Clever, Ophelia. Ogden Nash would be proud of you.
