\u201cInept media\u201d best describes how The Register-Guard<\/i> has spiraled downward to the depths of sophomoric journalism. I find it disgusting, disappointing and depressing that when our democracy is under grave threat that in its Sunday issue (8-30) the home-delivered newspaper best suited for the bottom of a bird cage or wrapping fish woefully failed to report on the night-before protest killing in Portland and the previous day\u2019s basketball playoff scores (i.e., Portland Trailblazers).<\/p>\n
Such poor reporting is beyond unconscionable and irresponsible; it is to me a downright rip-off of the money I pay for home delivery. No more! Hell, this news was all over the internet Saturday night, but in its corporate profit mindset the RG<\/i> had its Sunday paper printed and ready for delivery days previous, you know old news so as to save a few pennies.<\/p>\n
Clearly the RG<\/i> is in a crisis facing both insignificance for local and state coverage and being viewed as a source of relevant and timely information; clearly it no longer is. From now on I get my news from the internet, Eugene Weekly<\/i> and television, not the third-rate newspaper that the RG<\/i> has apparently taken it upon itself to become.<\/p>\n
