I am not willing to cancel my subscription since this is the only local
paper we have, awful as it often is, but I am willing to write a letter
telling them what I think about this type of advertising. N.W.

I'm willing to cancel my subscription--even though I'm not a Democrat.
I'm weary of apathy too. It makes me feel so...apathetic.
Let me know if this will be done en masse, and, if so, some ideas about
the language we wish to use.
PS

The sticky note was at least on the paper and an obvious ad. Anyone
should differentiate that note from being the paper's political view.
The packaging from last night appears to represent the paper. A friend
on Marston did not have a wrapper on her paper last night.
How many are willing to take a stand and call and speak to someone and
cancel subscriptions, at least temporarily? If only a few do it,
nothing good will come out of this.
This should not be a Democrat's issue but an issue for all who want
ethical media. I grow weary of apathy.

My paper also came yesterday with a sticky note attached asking
me to vote for Dillon for Sheriff, so apparently others are doing this
as well. N. W.

Colleagues,
You may recall that the Leader-Telegram refused any letters
commenting on the Republican pull-out from the debate at South Middle
School . . . How shall we "read" this action?

The Leader Telegram just came in a huge brightly colored plastic
bag promoting Republicans. It is sponsored by the NRA. It will lead
many people to believe that the paper is promoting the Republican
ticket.
I called and was told it is just plain and simple, a paid
advertisement.
I think it is appalling. Maybe if enough of us call, someone
will think twice about this.
How many of the public will believe this is promoted by the LT
rather than an ad?
