FAYETTEVILLE — There is a tendency among the youth in journalism to cut open their subjects and let them bleed. It’s mainly a big market exercise. You see it more in pro sports coverage.
Fire them, cut them and forget them. Then, do it again.
I had a friend who was drafted by the Boston Patriots (before they adopted all of New England). He lasted one season before he retired from football. He was ripped and the subject of editorial cartoons in the newspapers of that town. He lost hair. His heartbeat became irregular because of the stress.
