It was only last week that I wondered on Twitter why we don’t hear a lot of controversy surrounding the Girl Scouts?
And then came this — the death of the perfectly fine Girl Scout cookie.
The most startling aspect of the story may be that it occupied four minutes of a local TV newscast.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
