Who writes these Journal editorials?

As ever, the Journal shows its bias in this morning's editorial about SWOP's dust up with Marty. In the very first paragraph they blatantly spew a falsehood by suggesting that the name of the youth event was "graffiti contest" when they know full well it was "Rock Out with your Cause Out." Their phrasing suggests to the public that the event was about promoting graffiti as art, when they know full well it was about educating young people about the large array of resources available to them in the city.

And when it comes to graffiti art, its more about providing space for a form of youth expression that isn't going anywhere. The Journal closes its editorial by saying that SWOP "could have educated the artists on how appropriating private property for their canvasses creates more grief than art."

Well, DUH. How better to do that then to provide actual canvasses?

No...what the Journal really means is that graffiti in all its forms is criminal and that the youth strata that engage in graffiti art should be considered criminals. No surprise here...we've always known the Journal Bias quite well...it lies squarely with the Mayor and his cronies.
