Um...you said it twice in your first post

You people think this has anything to do woth reporting?

Absolutely nothing to do with who they think is better

and then another

quote:

the "relationship" you speak of is one paying the other $$$ so it can say it is the official paper. Will have zero effect on the writing staff or quality of reporting.

and then another

Do you think that Crystal is on there because the team took a vote? Negative sir. They paid to have that "official" status.

This last one implied that people in this thread think Benson picked the "better" paper. No one here is some naive rube, we know Benson picked the more advantageous paper. Before your first post the only comments made about quality were by me and corndeaux, and both statements very clearly alluded to the HOPE that increased COMPETITION would be the catalyst for improving journalistic quality, not that any high level of journalistic quality was currently present in either organization.

Print dying is obviously some topic near and dear to your heart and has you tilting at windmills because you're arguing about things that haven't really been said.
