They embarked on a smear campaign in all of the media that they control by Monopoly: the newspaper, the magazine, the radio, the cable station, and even the ads at our movie theater. All off the news that they do or don't want you to know.
They tried very hard to smear the people that have been producing a very nice phone book for us for years now. I suggest you spread the word to support the original phone book, which will be the one that does not have the villages logo. We need some competition in our media here.

I hadn't noticed any smear campaign. A phone book is a resource, not a cause.The basis of a free enterprise system is that they can use any vendor they choose. Was there a breach of contract or are you connected with the aforementioned company, and are bitter over the loss of business. I worked on a contract basis and never took contract renewal for granted.
