Tabloid journalism

The story on the hard-working local mom who had a run in with the local authorities was a disgrace. This woman's contributions to the city of Sandpoint over the last nine years is imeasureable. To have an article published locally that senationalizes a misdemeanor is cruel and unwarranted. This is a small town, mutually forgiving of its inhabitants' less-than-saintly behaivor. Mr. Kinnard, many of us have bones in our closets we would rather not want made public. That's why we came here. I must assume you have not sinned since you are so ready to throw rocks. In the words of an old mentor "They only made one of perfect, and they crucified him." Mr. Kinnard, give people a break and save the yellow journalism for the grocery checkout.
