As sick as I might be of the Kwame coverage — it’s an open-and-shut situation — the Free Press keeps tooting its own horn about how great a job it did of uncovering the scandal. They did their job, and it is an important job, but they are devoting twice as much page content to this than is truly necessary.
Firemen put out fires, milkmen deliver milk and reporters break news (I realize there are firewomen and milkwomen, too. Are new mothers considered milkwomen?). The information was bound to be released at some point. The Freep did get it from an anonymous source, early, but it was inevitible. I am proud of them, and they did reveal a significant scandal, but come on, lets be humble about it. Other than the appeal proceedings, there has not really been anything significant reported in the last few weeks. The first appeal was rejected as was the next. Who expected otherwise?
The readers know that you did your job, so let’s just report news stop the Kwame repetition and get back to the disgusting reports about senseless violence.
