Yet another Jacksonville Daily News poll doesn’t make sense to readers.
Today I discovered the poll to the left regarding the construction of a 75-feet tall building in downtown. No mention of what downtown, where or when this building is being constructed. I searched recent Daily News articles and didn’t find anything mentioning a [...]

Unfortunately, this editorial isn’t available online unless you have a subscription to the online-version of the [...]
CNN calls it in the banner. No article yet.
UPDATE: CNN’s article is here.
…to my post (If you haven’t seen the comments there, you should take the time).
But, more importantly, you should read Kay’s direct response on his blog. Because, in that post, Kay has proven that he’s completely missed the point of my criticism of the Jacksonville Daily News.
Lindell thinks I take pleasure in pointing out the [...]
Lindell Kay at the Jacksonville Daily News made a terrible, terrible mistake: He identified the victim in a sex crime.
The online article has been edited and includes the following disclaimer:
Editor’s Note: Information that mistakenly appeared in the original version of this report has been removed.
But, unfortunately for the victim, there are (at least) tens-of-thousands [...]
