Her adoptions seem like nothing more than another PR coup for Big Al, one more sham.

It is a sham and a shame that an organization as powerful as Gannett would not abide by the principles it stands for. No integrity! Hypocrisy at its worst. Rosamunda is way above her "father" -- the hypocrite. He called himself an "S.O.B." in his book and he was right.
