http://blogs.e-rockford.com/editorsnote/2009/05/08/verify-before-you-txt-it/ Back in the old days -- that's less than a decade and before there were such things as blogs and interactive conversations with readers -- editors used to respond to their newspaper readers with an "editor's note." Sometimes it clarified a point made in a letter to the editor. Sometimes it offered a correction. Sometimes it was just a simple explanation. An editor's note was a handful of sentences; maybe a four or five paragraphs. It was always a personal link between the editor and the reader. Only difference between it and today's blog is the immediacy and the platform. Welcome to Editor's Note.

It is what they do not tell us. That is the problem. Many times the news media refusses to tell about the mis deades of our so called leadership. Both, political, and business people. Our political is mainly interested in there bribery money. Of course, they call it rewelection money. It serves the same purpose. Why else does the developers get there way. The law is for sale as well. Because of greed, our nation is falling apart. Does anyone care? It is not what the news media tells us. It is what they do not tell us. That is the problem.
