I hate to be annoying, but I take issue with about 1/4 of these stories are plugs for previous articles and are by definition hardly 'Morning News'. It seems like laziness to me by not going out and finding fresh things to report on. And it happens frequently!

@1 Hello Phoebe. That is the point of Morning News. We do original reporting in Slog posts throughout the day and in our print paper. Morning News exists as a link roundup to quickly share stories we don't originally--or to emphasize them if we do.

*don't report originally

mmm... T-bone

@2

I think what Phoebe is suggesting is that readers of SLOG don't need a summay of yesterday's SLOG-- we can just scroll down the page for that. We even know how to click the "next page" links!

You're probably too new to remember Schmader's weekly wraps, but those of us who do really miss them, and their influence on the morning news-- which wasn't always what it has decayed into today.

@7 I will try to include less of yesterday's Slog in morning news. That said, I'm sorry that you are currently being forced to read a website you think has decayed into garbage. That sounds like an awful predicament, and I do not know why your captors would make you do such a thing. Shame on them.

Burn! (As the kids on That 70's Show used to say.)

Also, the cop was fired for arresting the old man for allegedly swinging the golf club at her, which he did not do. That's why she was fired.

Feel free to ignore phoebe the concern troll

With all due respect, your retort seems a little late.

Phoebe isn't taking an crap today.
Way to put the hammer down girl.👏
