According to Roldo’s assessment in Cool Cleveland of the Plain Dealer’s replacement of Alex Macheskee, the need for citizen journalists won’t be going away any time soon.

It appears that the Plain Dealer may get even duller and the news stories even more inane.  I hope Roldo’s assessment is wrong because good competition would make all of our lives better, but usually he is right on the money with his predictions.

Do we really want to allow regulation of loan practices to be enforced by agencies that don’t enforce rules on their own agencies? We should be making these decisions not well-paid lobbyists hired by the very institutions to be regulated.
