Something has gone haywire

Something has seriously gone haywire at the “news” organization that provides the sometimes stylish but substantively thin wrapping for the Las Vegas Sun. The “newspaper” has been sending out so-called flashes to its subscribers for weeks now, almost on an hourly basis, often about things no one cares about or are simply insipid. Take this on Monday: “First day of school goes smoothly.” Seriously? Are they kidding? Not only is this inane on its face, but it was sent out well before the first day of school could have ended, smoothly or otherwise. What’s next? “Flash: Planes landed safely at McCarran today.” “Flash: No commissioners indicted today.” “Flash: The sun came out today.” Do they think their subscribers are morons?
