Get In There and Start Throwing
Chad the Elder has some friendly advice for the Strib regarding the ongoing columnist fight between Katherine Kersten and Nick Coleman:
If they were smart (insert joke here), they’d let it go for a while. Nothing like a little conflict to attract attention and sell papers (”Coleman-Kersten battle continues, read all about it!”). They could run online polls on who has the upper hand, let readers chime in with e-mails and letters, and maybe even schedule a live debate between the two scribes.
Better yet, they could don the gloves, insert the mouthguards, and just start throwing. If it ever does come to that, the smart money is on Kersten.
