What Does OC Register Have Against Mickadeit?
Posted by: Jubal | 02/13/2008 8:48 AM
Frank Mickadeit is (rightly) the Orange County Register's marquee columnist. The paper heavily promotes his column with a big picture of Frank and a topic summary in the top right corner of the local section.On the OCR website, Frank's mug adorns the "Columnists" graphic one clicks on to get to the OCR columnists page.
So why is it the Register regularly omits Frank's column from their website? Take this week for example. On Monday -- no Mickadeit column. Yesterday, both the Monday and Tuesday Mickadeit columns were up. Today -- no Mickadeit column. And it's only Wednesday.
One can read Martin Wisckol's Monday Buzz column, two Gordon Dillow columns and Dena Bunis' column from Sunday.
But when it comes to the Register's most heavily promoted (and readable) columnist, the crack OCR web team has popped him down the memory hole.

Damnit, Jubal, you posted on this just before me! One other thing worth mentioning: Frank, the Reg's most-read columnist, now had a deadline before 5 p.m. every day. He's rightfully bitched about it in his column twice within a week's span. For the Register's newest regime to hassle one of their few remaining name assets is insane.
Frank is like Rodney Dangerfield, he just ain't getting any respect! Frank is probably on the outs since he is much more fair and impartial than the others like Wiskol, Lowe and Greenhut. They are so slanted it's ridiculous.
I might now always agree with Frank but I do respect him for being who he is.
This is just a guess, but it might be that Mullet that he is sporting with Commie Girl. Mullets and Commies never did very well at the OC Reg
Thanks for the adoration, which I so deserve. The issues with the Web version of the column are a combination of basic architecture that isn't friendly to what I'm trying to do and my own incompe
There's no mystery here folks. I've said it several times before: The Register's web was created by six highly intoxicated Russian lab rats who've been given GHB and put in a room with Greg Haidl, a Sony camcorder and a rat-sized pool cue.
