Or gone with "authorities are looking" as a line. To say definitively that bodies had been found, especially based on others' reporting, especially others who were not local, seemed a tad ill advised.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by and have a nice weekend!<br /><br />The ObserverThe Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-85326397778121223952011-06-10T23:03:49.575-05:002011-06-10T23:03:49.575-05:00Mo--

I am just not sure the national newspaper model can be made to work any more.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by and commenting.<br /><br />The ObserverThe Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-89155389898230808292011-06-09T12:26:00.419-05:002011-06-09T12:26:00.419-05:00Excellent entry.

Great observation.<br /><br />You would think that the Times would want to make sure they were on track, especially after they blew so badly on the latest Iraq War attack of W's by just laying down and being his lapdog. And then, additionally, because they know that online is where it's going to be and where we're all going to be in short order.<br /><br />Hopefully they can somehow address this quickly and thoroughly or they'll even more quickly become and be irrelevant.Mo Ragehttp://moravings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-73016915554116682532011-06-09T08:49:57.681-05:002011-06-09T08:49:57.681-05:00T.O.:
