Dumbing down the Intell

We burst out laughing when we picked up this morning paper and scanned the front page.

The big story, “The 70s return” told us that it was warm yesterday, something people who had stayed inside might not have noted.

Then there were two articles on local police actions: “Man and police in standoff in Elizabethtown” and “Police seek suspect in Saturday shooting.”

Then we learned from “Nik Wallenda has friends in high places” about a tight rope artist who happened to be visiting town.

Finally there was an article about “The Bowhunters Festival”.

Just how provincial can they get?

Now compare the Intell’s front page to the articles of local interest today at NewsLanc:

Thornburgh wrote book; Corbett penning sequel
Street Cars: A bad idea finds new life
Corbett names Wolf secretary of Pennsylvania Department of Health
Penn State trustees’ campaign heats up
Senators Manchin and Toomey Work on Background Check Deal
Millersville students calling for new graduation speaker

A friend of ours is having a birthday party next week. We had better let the Intell editor know so that a reporter can be sent over to cover it.

Today was the first time we felt like cancelling our subscription.
