It’s not surprising that the editorial page staff is comprised of back-biting tone-deaf racists given the content of the editorials. I wonder what Jerry thinks now.

It just confirms how slipshod Platte’s leadership is. No self respecting metropolitan daily would dream of having one single editor for both news and opinion divisions. Last I checked HA was the largest paper without a firewall between the two. At best can we question whether Mark was too busy with squelching Superferry stories and slouching toward Conklin and Twigg-Smith in their Hawaiian issues coverage to know what a mess his opinion page staff was? His reaction of total denial though intimates knowledge and tolerance if not complicity.
