Yes, it’s another editorial telling us how the Wheeling News-Register is “obliged to no individual, organization, political party or ideology"
Readers need only look at the next editorial for evidence to the contrary
Last month it was the Wheeling Intelligencer, this month it is the News-Register -- the anniversary of their founding becomes an excuse for a self-congratulatory editorial. From yesterday’s lead editorial:
We do not slant our reports to favor anyone. We let the chips fall where they may.
Our responsibility is to our . . .
It’s good to be home so I can read a real newspaper!
Away for most of the week, yesterday’s Sunday Wheeling News-Register reminded me of what was missing from my daily media diet
Quiz time
See if you can spot which of following is the largest headline on the front page of the Sunday News-Register. (The rest of the headlines come from the local news section of The Onion, the online satirical newspaper.)

Voter suppression in a majority-black Georgia county?
Of course not, as the Wheeling News-Register editorial tells us, they were just trying to be ADA compliant
Yesterday’s Wheeling News-Register editorial, “Reconsider Harsh ADA Enforcement,” mentions nothing about voter suppression choosing to blame the Americans with Disabilities Act for closing seven of nine voting sites because a consultant warned that these polling places were not ADA compliant.

A News-Register editorial tells us that Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament has the same power to incite violence as Donald Trump
Here is the poster that was used by Pearl Jam to advertise their concert in Missoula, Montana earlier this week:

Friday’s News-Register editorial: More laziness and no disclosure
No research
Does anybody at Ogden do any research before they write an editorial? I’ll answer that: apparently, not. Case in point – yesterday afternoon's Wheeling News-Register editorial on sports betting. For the sixth time, an Ogden editorial claims that the state’s take from sports betting is too small -- only 10% which the . . .
Today’s Wheeling News-Register editorial reaches the “your mother wears combat boots” level of desperation
Wheeling papers continue their frantic defense of Donald Trump
While growing up (many years ago), I occasionally found myself in arguments with friends and classmates. In such arguments, I can remember that sometimes I, or my opponent, reached a point where all arguments had been defeated and there were no good points left to be made – all that was left was personal attack and so “your mother wears . . .
Rounding up the usual suspects
A predictable editorial with a predictable scapegoat
After the Wheeling Intelligencer published four articles of questionable front-page news value in three days from West Virginia University's Academic Media Days, an editorial (or Myer column) was the predictable next step. Today's editorial focused on the first of those four stories in which WVU's President E. Gordon Gee discussed . . .
