Lately the TV news channel that I watch has been talking about President Obama's planned school visits. Some of the parents didn't like his lesson plan or speech, so they said they would keep their kids home on the day he visits. ...more

We really need to worry as newspapers in the country are closing. We are not just losing newspapers, we are losing freedom of the press. If we begin to rely on TV news, which is more the opinion of the presenter, or news on the computer, we are sacrificing the local scene. ...more

Mr Lensis's letter defended Limbaugh's comment that he wants Obama to fail. I'm sorry Mr. Lensis, but no matter how you twist it, how you "rephrase" it, or how people wiggle it around, we all know what Rush said and what he meant. He wanted Obama's policies to fail — which can only mean that the U.S. would go into a depression! And contrary to what you said — I have listened to Rush. I first started listening years ago when he first hit the air waves. Being analytical in nature and a talk radio/news junkie it didn't take long before I noticed that Rush was not quite telling the whole story on many things. He routinely takes statements out of context to push his radical right-wing spin on things.

Forget for a moment that our country's economy is sinking. Forget that we have two wars going on. Forget that people are out of work, losing their homes and struggling to get by. Our Congress cranked out legislation Wednesday to postpone changing the nation's TV signals to digital until June 12. Thank goodness they came to our rescue! ...more

Enough of this baloney about $75 an hour for auto workers. My father and brother are retired auto workers. They don't make, nor have they ever made, anything close to that kind of a wage. The $75 an hour story has been debunked by the mainstream TV news outlets but newspapers don't investigate and report anymore. They only re-report and the $75 an hour story sells papers. If, as stated, the autoworkers' wages add 10 percent to the cost of an American auto, why do competing Japanese cars cost 10 percent more for comparable American models? ...more

A Maine TV news anchor who bears a resemblance to the Republican vice presidential nominee says she's been getting "hate mail and nasty phone calls" from viewers who think she's trying to copy Sarah Palin's signature style. ...more
