Northwest Indiana Discussion

Yep. In these enlightened times even a University of Chicago graduate has to compete with illiterate slobs just to find a patronage job in municipal government. Thank Heaven for legalized gay marriage!

Hey Sparks, In your opinion, you say it's ok for any married man or women can cheat on each other and we can just ignore it, because we are coming out of the dark ages. Does Mrs Sparks know of your thoughts?

Decades ago, when newspaper writers had integrity, they wouldn't write about the private lives of elected officials.

So politicians are above the law, so it ok to be found in the back of not just a strip club, but a seedy strip club having someone stroke their monkey?

Or ok to have romps in local hotels with various working girls with party goods on the table?

Or a politician, who portrays them self to be a family man, and getting someone pregnant?

Such behaviors indicate a sociopath personality disorder, drug abuse and it doesn't affect their ability to manage their elected government duties?

I guess this is the integrity Sparks is speaking about.

I have no idea about reporters with integrity not printing stories about certain people. That's hog wash.
If it was any kind of a story, it hit the presses. There happened to be times when some official would give a reporter a bad time and that reporter and several others that got drift of the story, would hold it over the head of that individual. Boy did they ever co operate after they learned the details were known.. Many years ago the Hammond Times, as it was known at the time, had a beat reporter that got himself on the payroll in East Chicago for keeping his mouth shut on a story that involved a high ranking politican. He was listed as a alley inspector. There happens to be a curent Hammond businessman that had a job as a alley inspector also. Maybe he still has it. He never checked one alley in his life. That was in East Chicago also.
