In short, stories have been suppressed that might make Mr. Silberman look bad.<br /><br />Additionally, our local newspaper gives no voice to the growing list of teachers, school board members, and parents who question the motives of our superintendent.<br /><br />Of course, as has been pointed out on numerous occasions, the H-L has selectively chosen to present coverage of the issues it feels are important for years. Oldtimers remember that the H-L apologized for the lack of coverage it gave the civil rights movement in Lexington when Fred Wachs was in charge. That even made the top story one afternoon on NPR.<br /><br />Clearly, the H-L feels that they need a man to believe in. Their messiah is Mr. Silberman and they will continue to support him as best as I can see. Perhaps things will change when there is a change in the editorial staff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-71553538872069366952010-11-27T23:09:43.340-05:002010-11-27T23:09:43.340-05:00Replying to "Anonymous", I find the Hera...Replying to "Anonymous", I find the Herald Leader to be very "pro district" in their coverage of legal matters, so don't hold your breath. What will it take for the Herald Leader to provide the same dogged persistence with coverage of the school district that they did with the Newberry administration, KACo, or the Kentucky League of Cities? I think we will have to continue to get our news from Kentucky School News and Commentary instead of the HL.Brenda Allenhttp://brenda.allen@allenlaawofficeky.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-4372693827267748412010-11-26T20:05:43.380-05:002010-11-26T20:05:43.380-05:00I can't wait for the truth to come out.
