Dear Mr. Hoy: This may be true, but there are so-called "real" journalists who don't check their stories either. This just goes to show you, you can't always believe what you read. Concerning the Baltimore City Life Museums fiasco, what I would like to know is why did MN print such a rosy picture when the reality was pretty grim? I call that very irresponsible and misleading.

Just because a publication has 'News' in its name doesn't mean that it has real journalists that check their stories.
