Please click on these posts of mine regarding the same issue from April:
My issue with the Mercury has always been that THEY decide what is an issue in this town, instead of just reporting all of the issues and facts. In essence they manipulate the folks who read their paper and censor what they think is not important enough. This is even more so now that they have to share pooled regional articles to save money across JRC’s other papers. This cuts down on valuable space in the Mercury that could be used to print all of the issues.
Amen Jeff! All their papers are like the Stepford wives.
