DJ is self-absorbed

More than any other daily newspaper, The Herald should be commended for its consistent coverage of Haiti. It reports on more than just the political situation, balancing hard news with features. But the Aug. 2 front-page story This DJ is tuned to different vibe wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.

The self-proclaimed ''Haitian hillbilly'' represents no one but himself, while thousands of Haitians valiantly working to improve conditions in their war-torn country go unrecognized. To feature a man who prides himself on idiosyncrasies that are, at best, questionable is a slap to the millions of Haitians suffering Haiti's upheavals and working to build a better life for themselves and their country.
