C: We only get your biased paper for the obituary (sic). The editor/owners are horrible.
A: This comment appeared on a subscription form, the subscriber being not an individual but a labor union. Exactly what our bias is supposed to be, I don't know. During the Bush administration, we were accused more often of being a left-wing mouthpiece for the Democrats. Now that the Democrats are in power and the harping on the editorial page is coming from the right, I suspect that we will be most accused of sympathy with Rush Limbaugh and his ilk.
Truth is, newspapers make a habit of being a pain in the butt to those in power, regardless of their political affiliation. It's our job to question authority.
Now, as for being "horrible"...
Well, it is a fact that babies tend to cry the moment I look at them. Maybe it's the scars, the bolts in the side of my neck and my green complexion.

Park,
How can you stand such idiotic comments day in and day out. I'm totally surprised that these people can actually read, let alone subscribe to this newspaper.
In any cans, keep up the good work for most of us out here. We do appreciate you.
Many times you have to consider the source.
Dale, you know it's YOU GUYS at the OR that send him that stuff, isn't it?
There's a guy down the hall from me who gets a lot of emails about his eharmony profile... but they are all from me and two other people in my department :-) It's a bottomless trough of amusement.
That's why I said the source has to be considered.
Just like you guys were "horrible" to John Pettit, right? You really dropped the ball on that one and lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned.
OK Cody
My son once asked me the difference between trash and garbage. I told him, "Garbage is what is printed in the newspaper. Trash is the people who write it."
Just kidding, all.
My son once asked me about anonymous blog posters. I told him they generally have sex with farm animals and comatose nursing home patients. Oh, just kidding.
Don't forget comatose farm animals ...
Not kidding.
Hey Dale, believe it or not Cody Knotts did not make that post. Its kinda of funny that you guys just believe that only one person noticed the lack of coverage on Pettit and what was happening. Some people actually read the P-G also.
