witchunter, they may have all the answers, but it's the questions. always the questions. What good are the answers if you cannot figure out the questions?  The day that they match one with the other, now THAT will be newsworthy.

1. "The Standard-times is the worst newspaper I have ever read." Ah! That explains a lot.

The typos, the mis-statements, the poor punctuation, the lack of reasoning. It becomes clear that he himself has never read the Rag! Otherwise, where is the basis for comparison? The Rag loses, hands down.

2. "All the Standard-Times does is pander to its advertising base."  Hmmmm.

Let's parse this one together, shall we?

Wasn't the S-T the FORMER paper of record for the Town of Wareham? answer: yes it was.

Didn't the Rag get that advertising when Sweet Brucie was in control? answer: yes it did.

So. If the Town's advertising has been in the Rag (Ugh), how can the S-T be "pandering" to its advertiser?

Isn't this just typical RagThink? or lack thereof...

3. "Unger doesn't care how much damage he does in Wareham by allowing the truth to be twisted in such a blatant fashion." You have got to be kidding!

Change one word. Just one. Slager for Unger. And, you have the fact of the matter as it currently exists in Wareham.

How he can look at himself in the mirror without retching is the true mystery.

Let's see, STANDARD TIMES VS THE RAG

OFFICE

Standard Times - Has an office.  OK, it's in New Bedford, but it's also a big building, you know the kind that successful newspapers have.

Bobo - Had to close his office in Wareham.  Couldn't afford it due to stupidity.  Now does all his blogging from a Halifax toilet.

ST 1 - Rag Boy - 0

IMAGINARY COLUMNISTS

Standard Times - All Standard Times identify themselves and are not imaginary.

Rag Boy - Invented imaginary columnist Paul Shooter.  Proceeded to try his best for several months to try and convince Wareham that Paul Shooter was not fictional.  Led to the Summer of 09 being the most hilarious summer on record.

ST - 3 - Rag Boy - 0

Bobo, looking to "upgrade'? Spacious Multi-level "office" may be hitting the market soon..Don't miss your chance to grab this beauty!!

Hey Real estate whiz!

Nice try, but it is out of his price range.

I just saw the perfect space on TV, and have been "snoopin' around. If you can convince the beagle to give up his roof rights, it would be just right for ragserver media et al. Scarf, leather helmet & googles not included.....

Community Service

For three quarters of a century, The Standard-Times and the Salvation Army have joined forces to make Christmas a happier time for the less fortunate in Greater New Bedford.

For his own selfish benefit,  weiner boy fabricates a fictious Cape Verdean couple who say " Never again..." Buffet Boy organizes a candle light vigil.  One person participates.

Standard - Times - 5 -
Rag - 0 -

Real journalists don't lower themselves to this type of whining. Real journalists spend their time reporting the news. Oh right, it's a tabloid, not a newspaper.

The remaining newspapers are shadows of their former selves and their better reporters have fled the industry altogether. Most newspapers resembled Slager's before the 1890s, when wire services began to keep them more or less honest.

Reporters like Steve Urbon were always the rare exception.

Objective news no longer exists, if it ever did, and Slager doesn't care what you call him as long as he distracts you.

He's a a shill, a paid spokesmodel or my personal favorite, an asshole. Can we please finally move Bobo discussion elsewhere in the binary void? It's really tiresome and accomplishes nothing.
