Will the real newstories stand up, and tell the NY Post to shut the eff up…

First – Some things that I like about the NY Post.

You can buy it for like a quarter (or I think inflation has driven it to 50 cents.)  They provide free copies to the kids at school.  They have 2 different Sudoku’s, one for those just learning, and one for those who have run out of things to do but try to play logic games with themselves.  The NY Daily Police Blotter is kind of cool.   It also has pretty pictures.

Next – Some things I dislike about the NY Post.

It lacks intergrity, or class.  I mean, it basically is the Daily Bugle from Spiderman comics.  Everything seems to be about sensational journalism.  The staff is actually employed.  It is poorly written.  It dislikes teachers, and especially the teacher’s union.  They provide free copies to the kids.

When I [read this article from the NY Post online this morning,] I was both shocked and awed.  No, it’s not the school scandal, which by the way to me isn’t a serious issue.  I mean, when you here that there were two females in a classroom, naked and neither of them was a child being abused or mislead; that the two women were in fact adults, it’s not that big of a deal.  Was it a stupid move for these women to trysts at school?  Yes.  Should they be tarred in feathered by random strangers?  Maybe, I don’t know either of them personally. Would this have been an issue if it were male-female?  Not really, but probably debatable later.  Anyway, my issues came from the fact that the reporter of this article decided that the best way to characterizes these two women would be to let their STUDENT’S do it.   For instance,

“[Ms. Mauro] was pretty fun,” said junior Eddie Ramirez, 18.

“She dressed like a teenage girl – she’d wear low-cut tops, shorts, three-quarter length jeans. She was kinda sexy.

“You could see that she was the kind of person who would flirt.”

So….who is Eddie Ramirez to be a character witness.  Instantly, I now have the idea that Ms. Mauro was a slut, and deserves whatever job and std that she gets.  Eh. Lying. Joking.  I mean, should I really be listening to the opinions of an 18 year old junior?  Besides how does he know so much about women’s clothing?  Instead of obtaining the actual documents pertaining to this case,  the reporter elects to write an article that basically quotes teenagers, and Facebook, while destroying these ladies professional careers.  To me that feels like watching an episode of Grey’s Anatomy to ascertain what it’s like to be a doctor, instead of taking the time and care to furter fostering or refining y0ur ideas.
