What ever happened to critical thinking skills, and editing, in journalism?
I was reading our local paper at breakfast. Apparently there was a massacre in our town in 1903.
The hero of the story is a guy named George Fredricks. George Fredricks moved his family to this town in 1900.
George was a former slave.
His family was the first black family to settle here.
He opened up a barber shop.
The article said, “It is not known if the barber shop was segregated.”

Then there was this gem from the Wichita Eagle a couple of years ago.
