I wouldn't use that 'ole rag to start a fire, even if I were freezing to death. As Anonymous notes, it's nothing more than repackaged stories - full of grammtical errors, I might add.

The local reporters like to spend their time on superficial stories - like were to eat, or which new civic theatre to visit. Also, these weekly segments showcasing multi-million dollar homes for sale turns my stomach. Really? This is not the realm of newspapers, especially good ones!

In keeping with the "Fairness Doctrine" (A Reporting Doctrine of equal fluff and puff for the Pacers and Colts) at The Star, we have Gregg Doyel: Discovering Jim Irsay's private side — a heart of gold in The Star. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2014/10/23/gregg-doyel-players-treasure-jim-irsays-heart-of-gold/17776859/

Left unsaid as usual is the Billions of Tax Dollars the CIB has diverted into the Pockets of the Pacers and Colts.

Does this mean that Gannett is controlled by the Simon family?

-They are their landlord, and it appears pretty clear the point is made by mentioning the distance to our Fieldhouse where The Simon's team plays its games.

"Better to stick with the basics--report the damn news."

Wrong, Ruth. In the newspaper business, the first basic is to dig up the news. Second is to report it.

Nobody in the Indy media has a shovel; they all simply repackage AP reports and local press releases.
