Myron Cope's fun satire was very good and much closer to the truth than many would believe. As a retired journalist, I can tell you that G. Ogden Nutting means well in his own mind. However, the Wheeling-based newspapers have no care or concern for paying decent wages. I've talked one-on-one with the elder Nutting when he bought out a West Virginia property, and can say cheap is a kind term for the Nuttings. Too bad, no one else has commented on this satire piece. It is great.
