The Oklahoman wants us to think they care about quality journalism…

oklahoman statue

The ugly statue above is called “Investigation, Analysis and Publication.” The artwork was commissioned by Oklahoman publisher E.K. Gaylord in the 1960s in what I assume was an effort to taunt, bully and intimidate his rivals.

Earlier this week, “Investigation, Analysis and Publication” was moved to The Oklahoman's fancy new Downtown headquarters. Now everyone can admire the statue and wonder what it would be like to live in a town with a newspaper that actually upheld those pristine journalistic values.
