The better question is why did the newspaper devote
space to it.
Well, a lot of local newspapers hire grads fresh out of journalism
classes who might vaguely remember something about a potato and a
paperclip and something else to make a battery. Newspapers purchase a
lot of their content nowadays off the wire, the same way that local TV
news does.
The image of a grizzled old Editor-in-Chief growling and snarling at the
reporters is a thing of the past. The number of spelling and grammar
errors in the local paper makes me wonder if the copy editors even read
the flippin' birdcage liner.
