Seriously, who is running the show over at the Portland Press Herald?
And a show it is. All for show.
By all accounts the largest, highest-paid group of reporters should be breaking news left and right.
Medicaid fraud rampant. Boys in girls sports aflame. Fake Somali daycare centers multiplying. Democrat governor raiding the state emergency surplus for use as a taxpayer slush fund no kidding.
All stuff you can read about in The Maine Wire.
And what is the Maine Trust for Local News up to?
Featuring on its website the Freeport Chocolate Festival, the best books to get buried in on a snowy day, fun things to do in Brunswick, Maine Restaurant Week, Madhorse Theater anniversary.
“Ever have a book that does something to you, that, once you put it down, you can’t seem to get it out of your head? – Portland Press Herald
“In the face of an incredibly snowy winter, we asked five writers, editors, and booksellers across the state about the books that they can’t stop talking about. Telling stories of wild leverets, serial killers, and human anatomy, these out-of-this-world stories are excellent companions for days when you have to hunker down.” – Portland Press Herald
