There! I've fixed it while the VA circles the drain

 As The Victoria Advocate circles the drain, I wanted to show you what the paper's new managing editor does as a reporter. Yes, I am picking on him. Why?

 Because he is turning what was once a fine newspaper into a Trumper religious rag; he is shutting down blogs that don't reflect his personal Christo-fascist view; he is mentoring a scant newsroom of green reporters who don't know how to write a tight story using AP style or how to do real reporting like making pubic records requests; he has ignored suggestions on how to drill deeper by filing public records requests; and, he has attacked me by asserting his 40-some years in journalism is superior to my master's in hospital administration, 25 years in the health care industry and 22 years as an award-wining journalist.
