personal attacks arent nice, no, but when someone regularly self-promotes like this, it seems to invite heavy critique when the material is so sub-par. and i think that yes, the muckraker stories seem to have a bit of a "Superman" tone to them, which seems disingenuous and invites even deeper critique.
by allowing it to stand unchallenged, it's almost like we're saying that we approve of sub-par material such as this to represent us / our region. originally i thought the Muckraker blog was perhaps part of an undergraduate journalism class project or something so i didnt really care too much, but it appears that's not the case.
i dont think it's wrong to ask for higher standards.
juss sayin.
