Not good for journalism

This town needs them both, and the rivalry has been generally nothing but good for journalism here. Not to mention the entertainment value.

Good for those who enjoy media in-fighting and Internet wars. Entertainment value? I'd rather the entertainment come from the pleasure of reading a reporter's work, not the backstage gossip between the workers.

But not good for journalism, not good for readers, not good for the accuser or the accused, not good for the editors who weighed in, and most especially not good for the public, most of whom consider reporters lower than dirt anyway.

Rivalry should spur on both sides to do better, not to attempt to drag one another down or float some really nasty accusations.
