Let’s look at the Sun

The design of this paper hurts me but this is a nice story by Robert Rodgers. The PE did a big take out on these diploma mills a few years ago but this one targets the San Bernardino Police Department and Augie U.

Love that name. I wonder if they will start fielding a sports team. Shooting perhaps? Archery?

Funny story about a doughnut theft caught by Redlands Police Chief but I have no clue what this phrase in the first line means: millennium doughnut caper. Am I dumb? Someone please explain because it ruined the story for me.

Matt Wyre does a story about an upperscale neighborhood in Fontana watching prices fall. He uses the lovely phrase “Case in point”. Why? Why? I didn’t mind the first two paragraphs and was cruising right along. Then I hit that phrase and I stopped. Why is that needed? Reporters need to look at every word and throw out those that don’t fit. Instead of writing case in point, why not paint a picture of the community? That would have been a better transition.
