Reality Checker had the same reaction as I did when he read the Sunday, July 13, 2014 electronic edition of The El Paso Times.
The publication had one political analysis piece about “White House drug policy” (as if a building can formulate a policy), an article about another unfortunate who was run over by a train, two local interest stories (one about a sandwich shop closing, the other about a pastor trying to raise money), and an article that talked about the use of “bato” and “vato” in Spanish.
There were four sports articles on the front page, with an article about the San Diego chicken being the headline article.
El Paso is the 19th largest city in the United States yet our daily newspaper could not find it in itself provide one in-depth news report about El Paso. They did not even choose to reprint an article about world news from a news wire.
Weakly or weekly
Maybe they could accumulate the occasional reports that they publish for a week at a time and then publish them all in a single edition. El Paso already has a weekly publication that many of us enjoy reading. If the Times did some objective investigative reporting and started to proofread what they publish I might subscribe.
We deserve better

I want to know how much free advertising, in the form of “news” has that rag given the new baseball team? Too bad we can’t get a freedom of information request on the Times like they get on everything else.

There are skads of talented young people here who can start another daily. They would do their city a great service.

In the business section of our Sunday paper it also had a headline talking about Tesla wanting to “higher” more veterans (rather than hire more veterans). Only in El Chuco…..!

Brutus, perhaps if you and others PAID for the paper instead of reading the FREE on-line version, the Times would have more people on the payroll to write the stories that you want.

I pay for the print edition. I have for close to 30 years. I tip the carrier well at Christmas. The most accurate part of the Times is the horoscope section. I read it every day.
