N&R editor John Robinson is still infatuated with former Greensboro City Manager Mitchell Johnson, taking special note of the fact that the city will have to hire a private attorney to represent Johnson in pending lawsuits. Thanks to “My Two Cents” who noted “none of this would be happening but for Mitchell Johnson himself.”

Despite Robinson’s obvious infatuation with Johnson, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we’d have more respect for the N&R if they had just come right out and explicitly defended Johnson instead of half-heartedly covering for him.

By the way, is yesterday’s front-pager an example of Lorraine Ahearn’s hard-hitting investigative journalism?
