I have been a Leader reader since 1971. Never have I seen such provocative headlines and reporting. It seems that most stories in section one are about crime of some sort, and those that are not, often have misleading or controversial headlines that suggest questionable behavior or actions.
Take for example the recent headline about the Race to Alaska. R2AK is an event that has brought our community global recognition and local pride. The Leader headline proclaims that the race oscillates from “silly” to “impenetrable.” Webster’s dictionary defines silly as foolish and fatuous, and impenetrable as incapable of being comprehended. Here’s some news, Leader.
We locals love this race and all it represents. We do not find it silly or impenetrable. We get it. Sad that you do not.
