“The worst newspaper in America”

What’s the price you pay in Oklahoma if you want to keep your scandal out of the formerly relevant, worst paper in the country?

How about $1 million? Or perhaps this explains it better.

As you may recall, our blog of commentary and news has broken a number of stories over the years the paper won’t touch. We know that the paper is a joke, and even reporters with the “country’s worst newspaper” say this from time to time to OKPNS privately. Morale is very low at the paper, as the management is banking on the woeful Internet “TV” station, Newsok.TV. We’re especially riveted by the Ed Kelley Show and the Ladies’ Room. Must see TV!

So we turned to the paper today to see how they would follow the blockbuster revelations that Chesapeake Energy has been snared in a campaign finance controversy in Arkansas. We were shocked, shocked I say, to see nothing about the revelations of the Arkansas Gazette reported here Monday! But we did find that Chesapeake is giving OSU some money! Now THAT is quality journalism.

But we have faith in the country’s worst newspaper: we know the Chesapeake campaign story will be in TOMORROW’S newspaper. Just don’t hold your breath.
