The Bee Wins Law Suit: Is Print Media Really Concerned About Informing The Public

The print media often claims that its purpose is to provide information to the citizens. Does anyone believe this?

The Bee recently sued to obtain pension information on Stan County retired employees. Public employee are also citizens. Who agrees this information should be public information?

Since the print media has the ability to decide elections, sway peoples oppinions, and choose which facts it puts in a story or leaves out, should'nt they provide the salaries of all its staff and employees?

If the  print media were concerned about quality factual reporting, all papers would be free. If the goal of papers is to inform the public of what is occuring, then all papers should be free. The cost of making papers would be paid for by Ads.

So why does it seem that football coaches have something against baseball? Mine and my son's first experience.

So why is it that football coaches downplay baseball?

This is my son's first year playing football.  We have been a baseball family for seven years, so getting use to the football dynamics was quite a foreign thing. We figured if he was going to play in high school, we better get him some experience now, since he is in junior high school.

Just for Fun - Happy All Hallows Eve!

I get to be a 'cowgirl' and go Trick or Treat with my 8 year old niece. What plans do you have for this fun night?

Protesting The Murder Of Unborn Babies In Turlock

There is currently a peacful demenstration going on in Turlock at the corner of Golden State and Main. Most are well dressed men and women holding signs. I, like many others who were waitng for the traffic light to change honked and waved in support of these people who understand that abortion kills children., and received a warm smile and wave back in return. Maybe The Bee will spare a few lines on this encouraging gathering.

District 5 Candidates and what they mean to our city

 I have written a letter to the editor and am hopeful it will see print. I had too much to say and 200 words barely scratches the surface. Of course, I went over by a good fifty words because the system used to submit letters does not count words. I will have to trust the Bee to not change the message of my letter when they edit. In the past they have been fair in doing so. This letter is in support of who I believe is the best candidate for District 5. I know there is a lot more to discuss on both candidates and that is what this blog is for.
Please remember, when debating, it is wise not to personally attack someone for their views. Everyone has a right to their opinion and if we all thought alike it would be a boring world in which we live. In order to represent your side effectively one needs to look at both sides of the fence, only then can you make for a good debate and informed decision.

This is the letter to the editor:
