Roanoke Times Editors Isolated From News

Roanoke Times, 1-9-11, Pg Horiz 3: A guide to our daily editorial pages.
The news people, on the first floor, at the Roanoke Times, are independent and isolated from the editors on the second floor who are totally surprised each morning when they read the news section of the paper.
-
What a hoot! Are these folks insulting their reader’s intelligence on purpose, or is it just turning out that way?
-
Like the news people are so incredibly dense that they don’t know what the chief’s desires and requirements and biases are? Like there aren’t management meetings each day to select the paper’s contents and detailed layout?
-
This blog has over 1300 items written over 5 years most of which highlight the bias and slant of the Roanoke Times not just in it’s editorials and commentaries but in its selection of and presentation of “the news”.

This article causes one to reflect on the classic management-employee outhouse! It's good to be the Queens on the second floor!
