Quick Read

Monday’s front page is muddled… Bill Bush leads with a story on the decline of gas prices (I’m serious)… Theodore Decker types an entire story on convenience store violence and never actually examines the problem… And Encarnacion Pyle buries the fact that a state grant program, which he categorizes as a failure, has been deemed a success.

Metro’s front page is equally cluttered, with stories covering chickens, elephants, Ohio Dominican University, and a neighborhood block watch. Michael Arace (sports) mentions the Crew’s 0-2-5 start, but never discusses it’s origin… And Amy Saunders (Life and Arts) dreadfully misses an opportunity, utilizing few anecdotes and many clichés, when discussing Heather’s team.
