In the Thursday, Dec. 19 edition of The Journal comes yet another rendition of Jamie Stiehm’s journalistic debauchery. In basic writing skills, generally taken in junior high school, the student learns that the title of the article reflects what the article is about.
The body of the article consequently espouses the facts and examples of what the title expresses. In Stiehm’s most recent article, she accomplishes none of the above. Her titled piece The post office: a wonderful establishment, devotes a dismal few paragraphs to the subject of the article.
In it, she devotes her comments to a sliver of information about the origin and history of the post office including quotes from Benjamin Franklin, a character in a Jane Austin novel and author Neil Postman and then sugar coats the USPS’s current condition by (rightfully) extolling the virtues of our mail carriers but completely ignoring it’s utter failures as a business model. As is usual with socialists writers, Stiehm is skilled at the art of omission. She fails to support in any fashion, that which her title implies; instead, her piece is a continuation of her continuing long line of “get Trump” hatchet articles.
In her hit piece on Donald Trump, deceitfully disguised as an op ed on the current condition of the USPS, she wastes no time in inputting her opinions on a variety of issues related to Trump’s upcoming appointments with his forthcoming administration while she obviously ignores what her article is tit.
