HOW MANY TIMES?!?! If you’re going to rip off another local media outlet, give them credit.

If it’s not your paper’s policy to do so, change the policy.

Also: The days are disappearing where newspapers can act like assholes to one another. We’re all in this together, and I’d like us all to start acting and behaving a little more as if we were.

Matt Davis was news editor of the Mercury from 2009 to May 2010.

  1. Matt, perhaps my memory serves me poorly (and your site’s archives certainly do), but didn’t you once vow to destroy Willamette Week as part of a New Year’s resolution? Praying that another newspaper gets erased from existence doesn’t seem to jibe with this new spirit of brotherhood. Please tell me I hallucinated the whole thing. โ€” James Pitkin

  2. Guess what: I don’t remember doing that. But if I did, sorry. Although it is possible you were hallucinating…I don’t really remember anything before July 5 2007.

  3. Matt,
    I told you that mixing grain alcohol and diesel was not a common American drink for the 4th of July…
    thanks
    Patrick
