An extension of the Common Sense Journalism monthly column by Doug Fisher, former broadcaster, newspaper reporter and wire service editor. From new media to old, much of journalism is just plain common sense.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Unknown (often improperly attributed to Thomas Jefferson)
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire
"Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius" - George Bernard Shaw

Right up there with Round O, S.C., and Gnaw Bone, Ind.
Fame and fortune come to Larry Bird's hometown: French Lick Woman Caught In Drug Raid!
Great catch, Fish. I think that's next week's Word Of Warning for Com3210.
