I don't believe (in the original post) that anyone was complaining about the online paper itself. Tha complaints came regarding the sleazy way that the "reporting" was done. And I personally don't like the way they repost over and over on Facebook with the nasty mug shots....over and over. And I certainly realize that I don't have to open those links up and I certainly realize that I don't have to read the online news source. I and others are simply saying they report things in an unprofessional, sleazy manner with misspellings, poor grammar, etc, etc.

Other folks from all over the country who may(or may not) be interested in moving here, read this garbage. It does absolutely no justice to the community. I'm tired of folks back home assuming we are a bunch of VD infected, sex obsessed drunks. Remember how long it took to get the VD stories to (somewhat) go away? Then the "sex on the squares" and utility boxes, then a murder in the square? A small blurb on page 23 in the Sun is all that is needed...not a barrage of smutty articles over and over in this online rag.
