Do businesses flee from Clark?

Wed., Feb. 22, 2012

Just read the Feb. 11 letter from Karen Kearney concerning Doug Clark, and it does raise some interesting points. Now, I’ve never thought of Doug Clark as a journalist, per se. His column to me is more like an opinion piece: “The World According to Doug Clark,” if you will.

If he were indeed a journalist, then, yes, he would have to adhere to the rules of the game (and I assume they’re all still in place). Ha!

As things stand, I generally find his take on things interesting and, on a good day, highly entertaining.

Now, if Kearney can find a legitimate example of someone who decided to locate his or her business elsewhere because of that darn Doug Clark, then maybe she’s on to something, but otherwise … puh-leeze.
