In other words, they will cover stories within 2 blocks in any direction from their offices and the rest of the news they would like the readers to "mail it in".<br /><br />I've often had a hunch that the Rep, sits on the negative .... crime, dirty politics, even negative business news so as to not ruffle ANY feathers in this county. <br /><br />They seem to be "in bed" with so many different groups of people and their coverage of any "real" news is suspect.<br /><br />"Investigative journalism" has not resided on Market Ave for decades.<br /><br />And thus, the SCPR is the place to go for political news ...... negative crime reports, that should prepare people, not scare them ... I'm afraid will NEVER be published by the REP, nor will any negative business news (management/union shenanigans, bad bosses/employees, etc)<br /><br />If you want fluff, then go to the Rep. If you want news, then Stark Countains are forced to look towards SCPR, Akron, Cleveland and beyond.<br /><br />At one point I counted updates that the Rep sent out .... it was like 10 to 1, 10 sports stories for every tidbit of news. Apparently HS football is the MOST important thing going in Stark County. (Just look at how much ink that it gets)<br /><br />Very sad and shameful of Stark County's "major" news source (if you could truly call it that).STARK OBSERVATIONShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252847591790910527noreply@blogger.com
