   Be alerted! The auditor’s stooge is on the prowl in Tiffin neighborhoods looking to stiff homeowners. Don’t let him in w/o a search warrant.

   Scout: I think the bloggers would rather discuss “Tiffin Tomorrow.” Who cares about Obama’s dog, and what does that have to do with Seneca County?

   I understand what speak means about discussing locally relevant topics on this blog but the media certainly influences public opinion everywhere! SC is no exception.

   The media when it was “the press” used to have a role in defining issues and shaping debate. It also once had an obligation to enlighten and move the public to respect truth and knowledge.

   “All the news that’s fit to print” is no longer a motto held high. Today it’s trivia, sensationalism, and dumbing it down for Bubba. Which makes it all the more vital for small towns like Tiffin to have local newspapers that take themselves seriously and do their jobs well.

   I love the line Dick Gregory had about USA Today, “it’s one step above a coloring book.”

   The hacks only report what we slobs lap up. If nobody watched or read their drek, it wouldn’t get reported.

    What’s even funnier than that graph, is all of the images that pop up in the media of President Obama stuffing his face with food.

    When the World is full of pain and suffering we all find relief in comedy and government is often the funniest thing around.
    The news rather it be print or television is no longer honest debate about facts but a politicized mouthpiece for what ever party controls it.

    Last I looked, more people cared about Kate and John vs. anything Obama or the “opposition” party is doing. I’d loveto see the ratings of all the sunday morning beltway programs and any “fluff” news show on Fox vs. the debut of John and Kate.

    Wait, now we also have the very newsworthy battle between Letterman and Palin, a sideshow of a sideshow. I think Gov. Palin next with show her anger on the Springer show or Extra or Entertainment tonight.

    I have no idea who “Kate and John” is. I much prefer watching C-Span.

    Palin’s self-righteous rants about Letterman’s (admittedly bad taste) joke, happens at the same time her unmarried daughter shows up with her kid on the cover of people mag. How can the preening princess from the north have it both ways? Gingrich dumped his wife when she got sick. Limbaugh is a doper. Every other tv evangelist is a hypocrite. And they want to tell everyone else how to live their lives? I’m a conservative embarassed by these phonies. William F. Buckley must be fulminating in his grave.

    I’ve often been told that you get what you pay for but in this case we see what we support when were content with fluff and nonsense on the airwaves that is what will get plenty of even the news networks are driven by sponsors and the more popular the program the more in sponsoring dollars the more air time so we are responsible for what we get. Even religion is being dumbed down for the masses

    Old Timer – You’re absolutely correct. If you don’t like a show, you should complain to the sponsor, not the network, if you really want results.
