Gannett papers: We have no backbone.

Sometimes I wonder if newspaper managers are actively scheming to destroy the business as part of some wacked-out Illuminati plot. Then I think back to my last boss and I remember, no, it's just that they're egomaniacal duncewhistles.

The sad part is it sounds as though there was a lot of good journalism involved in addressing school safety. But that has been overshadowed by this poorly conceived map idea.
