Point Not Well Taken

November 8, 1894, Appleton Post

The Appleton newspaper takes the high road in not revealing the names of shoe shoplifters from Menasha. Principled or not, this is the type of shenanigans newspapers used to engage in when they were the only media around and had a captive audience.  Whatever the outcome and who's side you are on, it seems positively quaint that the Menasha newspaper was concerned about Appleton's paper casting aspersions upon the entire citizenry of Menasha.  Nowadays, it seems like social decorum has gone the way of the dinosaur, what with the constant name calling by politicians and social media where nothing is sacred anymore.
