Great news, that young man from Leesburg did pass of a drug overdose. Let's announce it on the front page of our newspaper ... Yeah! We don't have to apologize to the family ... we were right ... let's have a party!
This seems to be the attitude of the Times-Union. I became aware of this tabloid mentality back in the late 1950s or early 1960s when we all had nightmares for months after we were subjected to seeing the horror of a woman laying on the floor of her garage with a knife sticking out of her back.
Shame on you. You can sell papers without this type of reporting. Some things never change.
