Last week, we posted this about the second incident of a Shopper reporter failing to get a response prior to publication of their tabloid. This incident happened just more than a year after Betty Bean, another reporter for the Shopper did a similar act on Brian Hornback of Brian’s Blog. Here is the link to Brian Hornback’s response that was available on the Shopper website in January and February 2007, an announcement was also published in the Shopper print edition that the correction was available online.

Well, it appears that the Editor is making sure that they do not have a third strike. Because as in the game of baseball, three strikes and Editor Clark is called OUT! Check out Larry Van Guilder’s story that will be in tomorrow’s paper and online now.

We will continue our efforts as “The Truth Squad” to expose the third incident so that Mr. Hartmann and the E.W. Scripps folks can call the OUT and bring in a professional Editor that doesn’t make the same mistakes over and over and over again.
