Since The Cincinnati Post died, I have totally lost my yen to read local news media, but I had to point out two particularly crappy headlines from The Cincinnati Enquirer (in the spirit of full disclosure, they did pay me in 2006 to do several freelance articles).
*Obama takes 3 from Clinton. Seriously?! Are we talking about Legos here? How were the states hers to begin with? Grr.....
*Over-The-Rhine given hope . Wow, just what a transitional (code: black and poor) neighborhood needs- for some teenagers from a privileged (code: white and rich) private school who will grow up to be privileged college students to come in and open up a coffee house with the sweat of their own pampered brows.
I hate it when foreigners come into my neighborhood almost as much as I do when they get lauded for minimal efforts (like being there once a week), or as much as I hate when the media reports the big news like this, this here group of young white men swinging a hammer as an after-school hobby is gonna do a gosh-darn thing for the neighborhood where homeownership was at three percent, and now it's higher, but the additional ownership comes at the cost of low-income housing. And meanwhile, we have unscrupulous club owners and promoters trying to make a quick buck by promoting a street culture, and social service agencies crammed into every spare corner.
Oh yeah, Moeller kids, they're bringing hope. Give me a break.
I hate the Enquirer.
