The Bulletin: A Homer For Your Jockstrap
Is it just me or have others noted how our local daily has suddenly become the jock newspaper of record. You know, stories, some front

Wow. Scathing. But I think it is correct!
I don’t know about being the biggest “homer” newspaper in America, but The Bull certainly seems to want to contend for the title of blandest and most boring newspaper in America. Hardly ever do we see any controversy or enterprise reporting; the local content is 99% fluff about the doings of the local jocktocracy (nice neologism BTW), new little businesses being opened, somebody’s lost kitty-cat being found, etc.
you have got to be kidding, here is a prime sample of the source cutting somebody else down, most articles from here do, i would much rather hear about sports folks, then new bars or night clubs opening any day, GOOD JOB BULLETIN.
Another jock-sniffer story in today’s Bulletin: http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090915/SPORTS05/909150393/1041&nav_category=
For every story in our local newspaper about the intellectual or cultural achievements of Central Oregonians there are roughly 10 about the exploits of the local jocktocracy. Kinda says something about Bend’s priorities, or at least The Bulletin’s.
