From King's column today:
The New York Post's lead story on the Alex Rodriguez steroid scandal in Sunday's paper was 18 paragraphs long. There were four bylines on it, and at the end of the story two more writers were credited with additional reporting. Six writers for 461 words. That's 77 words per writer, or 19 more words each writer than this paragraph.Come on, it's the Post. None of the normal rules of journalism- whether economical or ethical- apply in their case.
