Out of curiosity I pulled up today's Dispatch to read their article on the Ohio Bowl victory.
WOW, no coverage at all. Pitiful, just pitiful for a local paper not to cover this story. Even The Plain Dealer had an article.
The Dispatch should really be ashamed of their lack of coverage.

It was a lengthy story on the right side of D1 that jumped inside and a photo of the french fry dump on D2.

Thanks for the input guys.

I searched their web site for "Potato Bowl" and it took me to this article:

Wouldn't it be easier to have it online? I typically get my news immediately online (Twitter mostly) and then I'm lucky if I see the same story 2 days later

Earlier deadlines means the end of reporting on evening games in the next morning's print edition. Ugh!

Exactly my thought, Alan. However, the first print edition, which I get in Newark, hasn't had high school football/basketball game scores/stories in Saturday's paper at all this school year. Pro/college games starting around 7 p.m. EST, haven't been in the next day's first edition for about a year now.

This is more bad news for the newspaper industry as you and I know it. It's not a good feeling for someone who was in that field in the 1980s and has enjoyed reading the Dispatch since the 1970s and the Columbus-Citizen Journal until it's demise around 1985.

And I feel bad for the laid-off employees.

Having said that*, it's one more reason to join the millions around the country to decide not to renew my subscription. I know I'm old-school when it comes to consuming news and my wife and my friend's wife give us crap for being one of the final residents in Newark to have the paper delivered 7 days a week.

*"Having said that": one of the most overused and misused phrases according to Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld.

Right up there with "that said." I would be curious how much time the average person who reads their non-sports news online spends reading it in a day vs. someone who reads a print paper.

This one article from England doesn't paint a very rosy picture for an enlightened society.

Nothing holds a candle these days to "It is what it is." Not only is it trite, it's actually a sort of tautology. My rejoinder, "It ain't what it isn't!"

No offense to you, OCF, but one of my new pet peeves is "sort of" or a variation thereof (kind of, etc).

It's "hedge" speak, as in "here's what I think, but I'm going to give myself an out in case I'm taken literally and my word choice is unpopular." It's become enormously popular. I can't stop hearing it from every media outlet across the land.

No offense taken, RF. In this case a qualifier was needed in that the expression being analyzed was not an unequivocal tautology like, "All green cars are green." According to one source: "In natural languages, some apparent tautologies may have non-tautological meanings in practice. In English, 'it is what it is' [can be used] to mean 'there is no way of changing it'." In this usage it is not strictly a tautology, though it's still as trite as can be.
