Is a little professionalism too much to ask?
When I read Mike Kohut’s letter to the LoHud Editor, I thought I was going to fall out of my chair. Not only did I have the same exact conversation with Joe just two days before, but there was a conversation over at the RocklandFires forum a couple of weeks ago over the same exact thing. They have a habit of getting the wrong location when they report fires as well as crimes. It’s obvious that the LoHud reporters need help getting a grip on their beat. In the old days, a paper would have a local editor who would hold these reporters accountable, make them get their facts straight before they published. At least make them check the zip code book for chrissakes.
I’m glad Mike Kohut wrote this letter to the Editor, not only because I agree with what he had to say, but because it shows he is paying attention to what is being said out there about Haverstraw in the media. Lots of politicans tend to ignore the papers and webs, thereby cutting themselves off from the rst of us and what we are subjected to. If I were a politican I’d be on the internet 24/7 (much like I am now), reading everything that everyone had to say about me, and vehemently correcting them when they are wrong. I’d have a website with a blog spot, forums and a chat room…ok, maybe not a chat room.
