What's wrong with Seattle journalism? Look no further than the front page of today's Seattle Times and its pathetic story, headlined "They Needed a Six-Bedroom House".
Memo to the Times city editor: the time to run this would have two weeks ago, when it just might have been useful. But then, you guys were too focused on screechy-preachy pieces about the teen dance ordinance, weren't you? Better late than never? Nonsense.

The Stranger got it right the first time, without tone-deaf "Merry Prankster" references, thank you.
Posted by Ronald Holden at April 10, 2006 9:55 AMIt's the flog-a-dead-horse school of journalism, easy to do once the beast has stopped breathing. Wait until a year from now, the First Anniversary stories ["...and has anything changed?"].
Posted by: Ronald at April 10, 2006 11:17 AMI couldn't agree more. This happended WEEKS ago and the Seattle Times has had many front page spreads about this terrible event. This morning when I saw yet another lead story on the front page (which I did read to see, was there any new news?) of the Seattle Times......I have to say, "When does this become a fixation, a glorifcation?" We are past that point.....
