But really, it's just a glaring error and this underestimation of the reader is so last century. A huge error.

Maybe that's all it is - but I don't think "that's all it is" states strongly enough just how basic and easy to corroborate that omitted info is. It really makes it look like a planned omission, esp. three days after the event when so much else already had been written. Anyway - thanks for commenting.

I think, though, that the reason why the PD is not talking about Connell is that the company that owns the PD likes Republicans and doesn't like Democrats. Why? Republicans cut taxes and Democrats don't. As in most things, all you have to do is follow the money. Great post Jill.

Sorry. I meant to say, “Bush 43″. Sorry.

I notice that media outlets elsewhere in OH, including Columbus - along with those outside of OH played up the GOP connections and history Connell had had. If my Newswriting I prof at Kent State had graded some of of the local reporting on Connell's death, he would have written in large letters on the paper, "MISSED ANGLE!"...
