What exactly is his point; is it that it is a complete waste of money and none of it should be spent? Is it that these dollar should be allocated elsewhere? He just ends with giving us a history report but no lesson.

September 3, 2024Sep 3 "I believe that had to happen to me to put me on this healing journey of sobriety and introspection,” she wrote." I hate that kind of s-hit. Someone does something stupid or awful, and they act like it's part of the great adventure of life. No, you f'd up and there are consequences. Sometimes it's that simple.
September 3, 2024Sep 3 @TBideon What do you know about addiction and recovery? Some people are born with an addiction gene and all they have to do is take a drink or a puff one day and they will be lucky to live beyond another 10 years. I was one of those who abused alcohol to feel normal and complete and I am lucky to be alive today. You don't choose to be an addict. But you can choose to be sober with a lot of help from other people. It's like walking on endless slippery ice every day for the rest of your life. I've run into many people who have no idea what it is to be an addict and all I have to say is, you're lucky, but try not to offer a reactionary opinion about a dark world you know nothing about.

February 1Feb 1 It's cute that Chris still pretends he run a news room with a stable of reporters that can effectively cover the Trump administration. Though he really gives away the game that he had to choose between covering national politics and the normal course of investigative stories. Inside story of how our newsroom mobilized to cover a Trump memo: Letter from the Editor Published: Feb. 01, 2025 By Chris Quinn, Editor, cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer Our newsroom normally enters a new year with significant investigative and enterprise projects on the calendar, but when Donald Trump won the November election, we opted to keep our reporters free of such assignments. Trump, after all, campaigned on a plan to remake America at many levels. We decided that fully exploring how each of Trump’s initiatives might impact Ohio and Northeast Ohio would be the most valuable journalism we could provide to the community, at least as 2025 dawned. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2025/02/inside-story-of-how-our-newsroom-mobilized-to-cover-a-trump-memo-letter-from-the-editor.html Edited February 1Feb 1 by Luke_S
February 1Feb 1 Quote By day’s end we published five stories to lay out how the order might play out in our region and state. I haven't read any of these. I don't see the point of them, it's a lot of hypotheticals and loose extrapolations based on events that are constantly and rapidly shifting and almost certainly subject to legal challenges. Just my opinion but I'd much MUCH rather they focus on reporting concrete local events. He mentions the newsroom is thriving but I find that hard to believe given the sheer number of republished washpo and AP stories. They don't even have a consistent food section which seems like pretty low hanging fruit.

He will respond with a non-professional, gruff email if you send criticism to the editor.
February 2Feb 2 Since Chris's Letter from the Editor here are the stories Cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer published covering the Trump Administration. I don't even know what to say, this should be deeply embarrassing for him but he knew the state of their coverage when he wrote the original letter. Is he delusional or just shameless.

May 26May 26 11 minutes ago, TBideon said:Thar be rumors he was messaging teenagers for years.Someone at the station said it was policy to try to engage as many viewers as possible on social media. Common sense tells me if he ever texted anything improper it would have been screenshotted and we would all know about it. What I heard was that he was being compensated somehow for promoting businesses who weren’t sponsoring the station.
