Wotanin Suffers
As the Journal grew in size and readership, the former popularity of the Wotanin Wowapi began to fall. Everywhere across the reservation there were large stacks of Wotanins. Journals sold out at every site they were sold.
There was also a noticeable change in the way news was presented in the Wotanin under the new editors. Everything negative about Morales or the tribal government was not printed. The chairman would go into the office every Wednesday before it was printed and would tell the reporters and typesetters what he wanted on the front page.
The police blatter, which regularly ran the names of people who were charged with crimes in tribal court, began to be censored. No names were published of any offenders.
The new editors were also accused of slanting news to make Morales look like saint.

Famous quotes containing the word suffers:
“Reckoned physiologically, everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something “ugly.” His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride—they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
