Setting Sun

Think the Sun has problems when it comes to spinning stories about Maryland politics? Take a look at the issue involving columnist Jules Witcover, whose last column was Friday.

Was his "contract not renewed" as the Sun contends? Or was he fired, as Witcover tells the Post?

I certainly do not agree with most of the things that Witcover wrote, but to dismiss such a tenured columnist in such a manner is odd and bizarre. (I mean, with all of the disgrace Olesker has brought the paper, he still has his job). And with all of the circulation problems the Sun has (its 11-percent decline in circulation is one of the highest overall declines in the country) , the paper's management continues to find new and creative ways to anger its readership.

The Sun is continuing its road to nowhere to lower circulation and diminished relevance at breakneck speed.
