I'm tempted to say more, but what's the point? Well, I suppose the ombudsman bit was something to do, or pretend to do, while waiting for something better to come along. Of course, one can't really blame the guy. I seriously doubt the Herald was ever serious about policing itself. I'm not sure any newspaper really is, certainly not in a way that's exposed and open to the public.
Schumacher Matos has only a master's degree in international economics and politics from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. You can't even get hired to teach in a junior college unless you have a Ph.D. It's obvious Schumacher Matos has a friend who greased his skids for a year or two.
Political correctness can do amazing things.
