No deviation from supporting the status quo is allowed. News is heavily censored by the news media, whether the Post or the Sun Gazette. Knowledge, learning, and information are suspect. Sports are heavily promoted and subsidized. Does it bother you that after 10 years of fighting wars in the third world there is no discussion whatsoever about how much longer America will be fighting wars in the third world? Sure bothers me.Keithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-85432083369067846092011-01-07T08:59:31.326-05:002011-01-07T08:59:31.326-05:00About half the 'news' in the Sun Gazette r...About half the 'news' in the Sun Gazette relates to sports.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-64077739315004952502011-01-07T08:57:09.733-05:002011-01-07T08:57:09.733-05:00Catering to the desire of two parochial schools to...Catering to the desire of two parochial schools to become sports powerhouses is a poor use of County resources, especially when South Arlington public schools are performing poorly.EFCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-52110761995472915002011-01-07T08:52:42.649-05:002011-01-07T08:52:42.649-05:00Sarasota Scotty admitted today that the Sun Gazett...Sarasota Scotty admitted today that the Sun Gazette has done well financially - ranging from profitable to extraordinarily profitable.
