The TL's Connor: Harvard is for pussies

Times Leader editor/publisher Richard Connor rips "a group now becoming popularly known as “The Bancroft Family,"" and says "they are collectively ringing their hands." Also: You're a bad son if you go to Harvard while your family is running a newspaper. Finally: Stories in the TL aren't for sale. Got it.

This column is hilarious - and too freakin' long. It's basically Connor screaming to his readers "I'm not the unethical weasel everybody knows I am. Please trust me and my cabal of secret investors."

Man, this guy is goddamned wordy
