@anon 8:49 a.m.: I know how to google. My point is this article is incomplete.
ReplyDeleteWhat this is is parroting whatever {name of organization} sends them. That's what, unfortunately, is what goes as today's news: little explanation, little if any investigative reporting to avoid ruffling any feathers. Most people prefer that, for they don't like their preconceived notions - often put there, unbeknownst to them, by folks with an agenda - to be disturbed.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, I suspect the lack of explanation, which I agree would be helpful, is largely due to volume of materials received vs. "staff" available to "go the extra mile." Being a blog, it's probably a staff of one, and they've got dozens are articles being sent to them to be published that they have to cull through. Unfortunately, most of the readers could care less what the Sound Cities Association is, just as they don't care what government in general does, so long as it isn't impacting them. That's reality.
