Football boner

A little background: COACH leaves UNIVERSITY A for UNIVERSITY B. Newspaper covering UNIVERSITY A sometimes publishes stories about COACH’s goings-on at UNIVERSITY B. This, of course, is wholly unacceptable.

Please stop writing stories about COACH. I could care less. I dont know if one of your writers has a boner for UNIVERSITY B or COACH, but its annoying. How about more stories on the UNIVERSITY A football team and UNIVERSITY A’S COACH.

Slanted designer

It is clear that the reporter designed the article to be slanted. And it was also slantedly designed with just the right amount of white space.

I should not be surprised but this is now at least the 3rd article on this issue and there has never been so much as a “veiled” attempt to talk to those whom deal with this issue every day and agree action should be taken to insure the safety of our families, as well as others. This article, although the least overtly slanted, is designed to draw attention of those whom would disagree with ANY proposed improvement and is designed to do nothing more then defeat this motion again.

I wonder if the writer stopped up at PLACE this week when this was written? Did she notice the road is down to less then 1 lane, severely rutted and washed out (as usual)? Did the writer research and find the accident report from the motorist that drove down hill this winter, flipped due to road iced over? You see, this miraculous gravel traction does not allow road to ever be efficiently plowed due to constant rutting. Therefore at night, snow left over that has slightly melted goes to ice. Sounds fun huh?

I am sure you don’t enjoy the prospect of not being able to get home, as road in winter is impossible to get up without a 4 wheel drive. Nice huh? We are concerned about trees but I need to drive a SUV to get home (we own a Prius, my mistake apparently)?

I do not mind the coverage, but enough with the slanted views and coverage, it is absolutely irresponsible and reckless. Press should be ashamed of the product.
