In Marv Adams’ column “It’s a new era, come Monday”, he states: “A big benefit from the merger is that daily and Sunday editors and reporters will work together to develop more investigative reports…”
WATCHDOG: It will indeed be a “new era” the day the Intell of Sunday News runs an investigative report on any advertiser or member of the establishment. Perhaps Adam means more crime reporting and puff pieces.
Can you imagine even Gil Smart taking on Lancaster General Hospital for misdirecting their third highest in the state earnings, largely derived from a monopoly position, almost entirely to hospital expansion while skimping when it comes to public healath? (Case in point: At least 600 heroin addicts going without Suboxone treatment due to doctor apathy and lack of funds, thus generating crime, destroying families, and straining the social safety net.)
Or how about challenging some of the ongoing mendacities emanating from John Fry and his stooges from the executive staff at Franklin and Marshall College. (We are proud of the College; we are ashamed of Fry.)
Would the Sunday News care to investigate how Dale High managed to siphon the greater portion spent on the Convention Center Project into his companies’ coffers, mostly without competitive bidding?
The answers to all three: We don’t think so!
