Nonsense. I understand what the previous poster was saying. The story appeared on the bottom fold of the paper almost among the ads with a very light headline. "Berkel asked to reconsider her position" that could mean anything, could even be positive. So I can understand how it hasn't gotten attention. In maria case now headlines were blaring even BEFORE herald had any "proof" of anything. Headlines with "embezzlement"..."stripped of portfolios"...."wrongdoings"..always above the fold of the paper. So stop. With newspapers its also about where and how you place something. Can't blame the people for going for the sensational when it was clear that is what herald was doing. Not in berkel case though at least not yet. All of a sudden in Herald editorial today is preaching restraint. Very funny. Where was the restraint with Maria. Also PJD2 had that she was relieved of her duties. Herald should start diggin instead of telling us to take it easy.
