You still don't get it. It's not a matter of "clicking on the mug shots" to read more. It's the trash and snide titles that are front and center on the Home page!

I never said the paper shouldn't publish such content as police blotters and realities of villagers that are negative.

I said from the beginning that true "news" articles are smothered with all the crap around them, and the crap articles are front and center on the front page.

See example of the day that stereotypes and feeds the looney and gross caricatures of us online across the country, and even continents.

Headlines like this make our community look like a bunch of demented stooges.
