Can't Quite Wish Him Well

Continuing the theme of getting out while the getting is good . . . Lex Alexander of "The Lex Files and "To Your Health" has left the N&R.

My comment (posted there after Liz Wheaton dropped some fluff):

I saw this yesterday and was going to just shrug it off.

What is sadder, Elizabeth, is that Lex got bought out before telling the local healthcare story that's been sitting under his nose for four years. During his tenure, a lot of so-called local journalists "wished me well" - but did absolutely nothing to help me expose a corrupt medico-legal system . . . a system that, in my case, would have had me let a newborn baby die at Randolph Hospital.

It wasn't important. It wasn't relevant.

So much for citizen journalism.

Wishing doesn't make anything so.

When I left the comment, seconds later, this was in my Inbox:

I have left the News & Record. If you're writing about story ideas or news coverage, please contact Teresa Prout at teresa.prout@news-record.com.

And thanks for reading the N&R.

Goodbye Lex. I can't quite wish you well. But it's better than saying, "Good riddance".
