Enquirer

On the side is a picture Tom Callinan, editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the local paper of record, who decided earlier this week to print all the names of the jury and personal information in a high profile murder case this week.

This morning he printed an apology/rationalization of their decision. Here is the money quote.

Yes, the names, ages and occupations of jurors are a public record, and there's good reason for that. We want a system that allows us to know who is judging us.

Yeah, I wonder if the same thing would be true of reporters and editors covering the case. After all, they have biases that could taint the reporting and the ability of the accused to get a fair trial.

So I'll make a deal with Mr. Callinan, Since he finds that it's ok for the public to know this information I'll make sure to report all his pertinent information as soon as I get it.

Since we all know where he works, maybe I'll print the names of his kids and where they go to school instead.
