Do we not have the right to question their ethics, agenda, and procedure? From my experience I have seen little involvement by the community to do that - in fear of bad press. It is the media's power. We more or less suck up to them to gain favor while at the same time they DUMP their own kind. <BR/><BR/>Newspapers are nothing but a HUNCH. The reader will go from there if he/she are critical - and make the call - find the answers. The open records law now gives anyone the power to request and the internet gives us the venue to publish.<BR/><BR/>And, then of course you always need to know what's on sale and of course the police blotter is always good.
