    US newspapers are deleting old crime stories, offering subjects a
    'clean slate'

    A wave of local publications are considering requests to wipe or edit
    old articles to give their subjects a fresh start
    ...
    ...
    "In the old days, you put a story in the newspaper and it quickly, if
    not immediately, receded into memory," said Chris Quinn, editor of Cleveland.com and the Plain Dealer newspaper. "But because of our
    [search engine] power, anything we write now about somebody is always
    front and center."
    ...
    ...
    There was some initial internal resistance, but eventually Quinn and
    his staff came up with general parameters: they would not erase names
    in cases of violence, sex offenses, crimes against children or
    corruption. Police officers would be treated as public officials, so
    stories of their wrongdoing would remain. The incident typically had
    to be at least four years old, although the paper has made exceptions.
    Quinn did not want to have strict rules, since every case is
    different. The guiding question, he said, was: "What's more valuable -
    this story remaining available to the public, or this person being
    able to move on?"

    I
    forget the names of these things but are part of many important
    stories.

    There are tons of news websites that had stories up but they are down.
    I could remember them and it is funny. Just funny, because they want
    to keep the propaganda, stereotyping, and marketing of fear alive but
    not things like White-collar-crimes. Some rich girl who did porn, or a
    rich kid who ran a porn website we now vote for, or higher education
    leaders.

    They are the same scum who illegally paid colleges ( like the list of
    wealthy people who paid money to get there kids into college or paid
    money for them to graduate ) to get them ahead. Remember that FBI
    story.

    Or the wealthy woman who is dubbed "Criminal" at the
    yatch-club ( country club )

    Next thing you know Hillaries children are going to run for office and
    we all should forget about Cocaine-Bear Bill Clinton brother who is
    the reason why two boys was killed for a white-lobster drop.

    We are going to be like

    VOTE Dick Chanies lesbian daughter.
    VOTE Biden grandson into office despite all the lies drug abuse,
    illegal pull overs and ID disputes.

    These people with an unfair advantage in life are abusing the system
    via freedom of press. Freedom to change the past.

    "1984"

    News Speak basically. Hoping people will die off and forget the past.
    waging a war against the people by targeting people one by one.
