Where are the editorials?

The Dallas Morning News grows skinnier and skinnier. And all the while they're trying to convince the readers that this is all a new and exciting format with them in mind. Yeah, right.

Anyway, in a recent edition, they took two pages to tell us what's on the opinion page. They explained that it had a masthead, editorials, letters to the editor, featured columnists, a cartoon, and guest columnists. I guess they assume we're too ignorant to recognize those things when we see them. But the real irony of all this? They had none of those things in that edition, because they took up the entire editorial section to explain what goes on the page.
