When the US Dept of Justice concludes that allegations made by one party against another party are false then it would seem reasonable to acknowledge that the party making the allegations lied. The World newspaper applauded the exoneration of the wrongly accused Captain Charlie Yates in Saturday’s Cheers and Jeers column but why no jeers for his accuser, John Knutson?

Knutson has taken the reins from Jon Barton as chairman of the board of SCDC and is a founding member of the rat PAC(K) also known as CCAP. Will the paper do another story about Knutson, Dale Sause and the machinations behind a bill that gave Knutson a local monopoly in the bay or is it going to give him a pass and sweep it under the proverbial rug?
