The Clark County Sheriff's Office is investigating the apparent killing of an elderly woman just outside the Vancouver city limits Wednesday afternoon.

**SCHNIPP**

It didn't take long for the columbian to set the lurid, tabloid tone of their news coverage for the new year. I see absolutely no reason other than cheap tabloid style "Yellow Journalism", the likes of which are the hallmark of Editor Lou "Yellow Kid" Brancaccio, to run a graphic picture on the front page of the morning paper like they did today. There is no doubt that this is a valid news story, but that one picture makes this fodder for the tittering Enquirer crowd instead of the informative news story it could and should have been.

Same-old same-old, eh Lou??

I would like to note for the record that the only people in thwon who need not fear ever seeing their arrest photo in the paper like that is the reporting staff of the columbian....

Wondering why there wasn't an expose and full tabloid articles on their own reporters arrests? Too bad, I'd love to see some interesting and honorable reporting.. But alas, I'll have to save my brain for Puget Sound papers and editorials..
