“You know, 5% here and 5% there and pretty soon there is no one left. But surely the News recent editorial calling for an end to the death penalty will boost circulation on Death Row.”
Ed Cognoski responds:Did Scott Bennett really just say that? Link the circulation rate of The Dallas Morning News to their editorial position on the death penalty? Imply that the circulation department dictates editorial policy at The Dallas Morning News? Or maybe that it should? Maybe it was just a tasteless, off-topic, unfunny joke about killing people.
Is that how Mr Bennett runs Dallas Blog? Apparently so, as this very story is evidence that Mr Bennett thinks about issues of life and death in terms of their impact on circulation rates. Be proud of your traffic statistics, Mr Bennett. Maybe stories like this will help bring a Katie award to your trophy case next year.
