Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc

Yes, it's a logical fallacy, but still . . . after two posts on Gossips about disappearances and departures, the Register-Star offers an explanation of what's afoot: "Columbia-Greene Media announces news gathering operation restructuring."

    Restructure all you want but if you don't change your reporting to reflect the changes that are real and happening before your eyes in Hudson and the county then its just a big waste of time.

    I suggest stop playing to that dwindling audience of voy forum and get real.

    imho

    I think the Latin phrase is "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" ("After this therefore because of this").

      You're absolutely right! I shouldn't be posting so late a night. It's fixed now.

    To help the RS with such improvements, I click on a sponsor's ad every so often when reading online. It counts.
