The root of the problem is lack of competition. OK there's the Independant, but it doesn't really challenge Aberdeen Journals. The people that work there are well aware that the paper has a monopoly, and they exploit this to impose their own views on the local population.
My favourite column is Eating Out. Notice that the reviewer always orders Sweet & Sour Chicken with boiled rice, while his faceless spouse known only as 'the Wife' always orders Chicken Maryland. All the popular ie. mediocre restaurants get rave reviews. Anywhere genuinely good is considered to be "on the spicy side" - this usually impacts badly on the quality of their Chicken Maryland. From memory the worst score ever awarded was 24/30. I'll send an email to the editor soon and post it here.
