I was wondering how a newspaper like the Iowa City Press-Citizen could print such obvious lies like Shams Mohamed Ghoneim's column about the shooting of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta.

Doesn't the Press-Citizen have an editor?

Turns out, the Press-Citizen doesn't really have an editor.

According to Little Village, in late April 2020, editor Tory Brecht was fired due to budget cuts and the editor position was allegedly moved to some unnamed person in the Des Moines Register's office in Des Moines.  This was further fallout of the Gannett merger with GateHouse media.

Not that Gannett was well-run.  Carol "Cunter" Hunter kept her executive editor job at the Register even after the disastrous example she set following the trashing of children's hospital charity fundraiser Carson King by "reporter" Aaron Calvin.

Aaron Calvin, asshole
