H&R is not biased?

After hearing what happened at St. Mary's recently between St. Mary's employees and the H&R publisher/editor, many thought that perhaps the way the H&R handles stories about the hospitals would change.

Today's edition of the Herald & Review does not support this view.

On the front page of the paper is a story about DMH's new barcode pharmacy machine. Yippee. On page three of the front section is a story about DMH's new MRI machine. Hooray. On page seven is a story about a Homeland Security bill that got passed, on page eight was a story on President Bush's Supreme Court pick and the reaction, and on page ten a blurb on the terror threat to the New York subway.

These DMH stories were not paid advertisements; the H&R CHOSE to put them in more prominent spots than events that are much more important to the citizens of Decatur.

Mr. Nelson, Mr. Sawyer...think about what you are doing. Words are words, but actions are actions.
