Globe Hatchet Job(英文)

By Marjorie Weir

此内容暂无简体中文译文,以下为英文原文。

Globe-Democrat circulation must be ’way down in the West End. What other reason could there be for the hatchet job they did on us after the recent murder on Pershing. The “crime-ridden” West End was tried, convicted, and sentenced by a “crusading” newspaper. Emphasis was placed on where this sad event occurred, as if the location were responsible for it. Subsequent developments indicate that it was the act of a sick child who does not even live here. Couldn’t this have happened anywhere? Obviously, but sick minds in other parts of our city and county do not seem to interest the Globe-Democrat nearly so much. Perhaps we are on their “list” because we don’t buy their yellow journal, but I suspect it’s because we sell it. The magic phrase “West End,” conjuring up lurid images in the minds of timorous suburbanites, is good for circulation. The Globe sure is a high-crass paper.
