It's news is so lopped sided it is hard to get at the truth. I don't believe that there is any truth any where in the building. <BR/><BR/>So why is it still doing what it has always done? Because in spite of their slant on the news people still buy it. If people quit buying the JS they would be more open to listening to the people. I don't read it and don't have it delivered to my house. I will not pay for favortism and untruths.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-1118508884285131182005-06-11T11:54:00.000-05:002005-06-11T11:54:00.000-05:00My local paper in Crystal Lake, called the Northwe...My local paper in Crystal Lake, called the Northwest Herald, has a similar letter policy.

They wrote that I wanted to eliminate the Office of Economic Development. Said office was never mentioned in the interview. I noticed Dan Gillette (who ran against Pat Nichting) was criticized for not believing in inter-govermental cooperation (ie:, city/county/state). Both Gillette and I wrote letters to the editor correcting their "errors." I can not speak for Gillette, but mine was printed without any editing. Nonetheless, if I were a candidate, I would think long and hard before submitting to a JSEB interview again. The experience left me with the impression that if they didn't have anything on you, they'd make something up. We are lucky to live in a place where people seem to know not to put much stock in their endorsements as evidenced by your wins and the last local election. No one deserves what you went through.

Kind of like when Pete Vonachen hit a person with his car late at night.....didn't hear much about that either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
