December 23, 2021: The word “principled” is stripped of all meaning
Today’s Wheeling Intelligencer editorial on Senator Joe Manchin: “A Principled Man in the Senate”

Ogden goes all-in for McKinley
No subtlety here: One-third of the space in this weekend’s editorial pages was devoted to David McKinley's 2022 reelection campaign (and this followed two days of pro-McKinley coverage).

Today’s front page has stories on the local police department looking for applicants, the county’s Humane Officer retiring, a local county commissioner deciding to run again, the new president of Marshall University, and a 2,300-word feature story about a . . .
Is this the worst Wheeling Intelligencer editorial ever? (with 11/3 update)
That’s a high bar but today’s editorial on Ohio’s Keith Faber deserves some consideration for that honor
This morning’s Wheeling Intelligencer editorial tells us:
Faber Serves Ohio Well
As it is written, the editorial makes little sense

More recycled editorials
Today's first editorial is two-weeks-old and comes from Ogden’s Elkins paper, The Intermountain. The editorial comes out against bullies:
It’s Time to End Bullying in W.Va.
Coming soon: “Don’t Litter,” “Avoid Texting While Driving,” and “Don't Forget to Get Your Flu Shot.”

Supporting Senator Shelley
Today on page 6 of the Wheeling Intelligencer, Steven Allen Adams, Ogden’s political reporter, rewrites a Shelley Moore Capito press release about a partisan Afghanistan bill that our senator and a majority of the Senate Republicans are supporting:
