Yukon News "reporting"

This is a portion of a Yukon News article that appeared the day after our election. It purports to be a direct quote from Archie, made to the reporter, "Genesee Keevil."

Your Blogress was present through much of last night, and I can remember a person in a pink T-shirt, wandering around with a notebook. When this person approached Archie for an interview, he asked her who she represented. When she identified herself as a Yukon News 'reporter', he walked away without saying anything. He is quite clear that he did not make that statement that appears in that newspaper, and - indeed - he is VERY clear that he never talked to anyone from the Yukon News about anything.

The Yukon News has slid from being a relatively legitimate opposition newspaper into a huge swamp of Mean. I use that word, "Mean" as an accurate description of its approach to news: undistinguished; of low degree; poor in ability and learning; petty; shabby; ignoble; small minded; seedy. All of this overlays a grinding ongoing malice.

You see, most Yukoners are NOT mean, nor are they malicious. The Yukon News reporters ought to get out more, and meet some of them. You know: like real reporters.
