The arts

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.

Meet Modesto Photographer Bill Moore:

Can you feel a disturbance in The Force? If not, you’ll be sure to see it if you’re anywhere near Modesto’s State Theatre tomorrow evening, when it shows Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, better known to some of us old folks who saw it in the theater in 1977 as “the original ‘Star Wars’ movie.”

Tickets are $7. The show starts at 6 p.m., but you’ll want to get there at 5:30 p.m. (and in costume!) to check out fellow movie fans and meet, the State says, “Darth Vader and the amazing 501 Storm Troopers.” There will also be pizza on sale, so you don't have to worry about making dinner.

*copy editor twitch-twitch* (”Stormtroopers” is actually one word.)

If it’s been awhile since you’ve seen the movie, watch the original trailer:

All you have to do is click and type..hunt and peck if you're like me.

Enjoy...
