O.k. Brian’s Blog is working on a story that the News Sentinel refuses to cover. Hillcrest is not being allowed either by state or federal regulators to accept new patients.

The News Sentinel is refusing to run the story. Sources in the Big Metal Shed on the Hill say that one of the junior Editor’s David Kim says that it is not a story. We think that it is. Especially since they have run the one hundredth story on Bill Phillips and the fiftieth story on James Owens but Willie Anderson is still stuck on page 14. While they do nothing we will post a story later.

If you believe that junior Editor David Kim is wrong and that Hillcrest is a story. Email your comments here or call the Scripps Ethics Line at 888-397-4911.
