Local “News”

Today when I picked up the local paper, something struck me about the articles on the front page. Of course the paper had the usual anti-Trump article about basically nothing, but it was the remainder of the “front page” news that caught my attention. At first I did not think much of it, but when I went to the “Local” section the same pattern struck me again.
Am I just a rightward leaning nut job? Partially true except for the “nut job”part. You decide. I am going to state the headline for both the articles on the front page and also the ones in the local section . . . you tell me if anything strikes you.

Front Page:

– “Flow of Central Americans Continues Across Border”
– “Lawsuit Alleges Albertsons Violated Rights” (The U.S.                     Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Albertsons, a grocery store chain, because they
have a policy forbidding workers to speak Spanish around non-Spanish speakers)
– “Assemblyman Requests State Audit of Hepatitis A Response” (the San Diego area had a recent major hepatitis outbreak that killed 20 people and sickened close to 600; this outbreak was centered on the city’s growing homeless population.)

Local section, page 1:
– “Caltrans Workers File Grievance Over Cleanup of Camps”( here the union is stating that the clearing of homeless areas requires safety gear because of picking up used hypodermic needles and cleaning up human wastes)
Local section, page 2
– “Escondido police investigate fatal shooting, suspected to be gang- related” (Escondido is a suburb of San Diego, and it is well known for its illegal Hispanic gangs)
– “Phone tip leads to arrest in attempted Old Town sex assault” (Jail records show that a 31 year-old was arrested and booked on a parole warrant, assault with intent to
commit sexual assault, and possession of a controlled substance. Almost assuredly this suspect was homeless.)
– “One hurt in freeway crash during Border Patrol pursuit into La Mesa” ( the driver and the six passengers were believed to be Mexican citizens who entered the U.S.A.
illegally.)
– “Trolley riders not guilty of seat-soiling charge.” (Homeless couple was found not guilty because the arresting officers did not have their body cameras turned on.)
– “Program that employs homeless extended.” (albeit at a cost of $140,000 annually)

To me the moniker of the paper that day could have been “consequences of homelessness for a city that fosters homelessness,” with a subtitle of “consequences of illegal immigration for a city that encourages illegal immigration.” If it wasn’t for the news stories stemming from the homeless problem and stemming from illegal immigration issues, how would our local newspaper ever fill its pages?
