BLAH BLAH BLAH

I don't know how everyone one else feels but I am getting sick everytime I open the newspaper and see ann mort and her crock of bull  about how wonderful things are happening in Middletown,she is like a broken record. You never see regular citzen being interviewed about things that need to be addressed. This newspaper is so one-sided that it is not worth reading,if more people would start boycotting them maybe they would change their pony and dance act.

Ahh, but Mom, the Middletown Journal is no longer about Middletown, but about surrounding communities like Hamilton and Fairfield. Notice on any given day, the stories offered on the Home page. There are many that ( I would imagine) most Middletown people are not interested in. The spelling has gone to he--. The grammar and punctuation has left the building and most of the content is nothing but "pulled off the wire" AP stories. There is absolutely NO investigative journalism in this newspaper and the writers are not nearly as good as they were 20 years ago. We took the Journal from 1985 until two years ago, then canceled. They keep calling and we keep telling them why we canceled when asked. I agree with Tomahawk in that the Journal is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the city leaders to use to communicate what the LEADERS want them to say. While I appreciate what Mort is trying to do, it is her constant "Mother Hen", "my way or the highway", "I want to run the whole show" approach that irritates the he-- out of me. She can come off like a nag sometimes. She is her own worst enemy in attracting people to participate.

Once again, you speak the truth Viet Vet!

Ann means well, but she has rose colored glasses. I did gain some respect for her when she supported Steve Price's ouster!

Spider, Blah,blah,blah does go both ways but in our case ours aren't allowed in the daily paper  where the whole community can read because they ( good old boys) don't want to be bothered by people who sees and knows this town has just about hit rock bottom under their leadership. In reality, if one is not in their circle of friends or donaters then you are just looked at as a problem. We can go down tomorrow nite and talk all we want too but I doubt it will do any good because people alot smarter and who have been in this town longer than me have already addressed the same problems for many years and anyone can see the results of their imput.

So, T, how many times a week do you read the paper?

Spider, My slate would include you as one of the new faces to help turn this town around and I say this with the upmost respect. I also think we need a mixture of people which would include the lady from Highland St. who spoke out at the meeting tonight, her sincerity and interest in this town added to someone like you and Merrel Woods would be a good starting point. I watched tonight and was not impress with the lack of concern, constant snickering, eye rolling,and total lack of input of two of the council members who sat side by side tonight.

wow--my post was almost 4 years ago!
