Remember when the St. Pete Times was offered here in their green boxes? They left our market a few years ago, because the industry wide trend of declining readership left them with not enough sales from boxes to be worth the expense. Ever read one? An excellent paper, if there ever was one. In fact, the paper is so good, it is used as a teaching tool for journalists. It is owned by the Pointer Institute, which was set up years ago to maintain journalistic excellence. Because it has the financial support of an endowment, it has been able to maintain its standards in the face of declining advertising. What we need is for them to buy the Democrat and turn it into a regional edition of their paper, now named the Tampa Bay Times. We’d have better coverage of international, national, Florida and local events, and investigative journalism. And a paper about 4-5 times as large, along with all kinds of features, including daily color comics that you can read w/o a magnifying glass.

Has this site shut down? What kind of a news site goes 6 days without a story during election week with a hurricane? Thank God for the TV stations and the Democrat to keep us informed.

Yet the Tallahassee Democrat irresponsibly published the ‘MY VIEW’ by Kristen Dozier where she was giving the CDA glowing accolades when at the time it was failing miserably – and a great cost – to the citizens public safety.

I guess the Tallahassee Democrat has named the members of their club and it is the same usual suspects going forward. Again, when the media fails us citizens must do their due diligence to find the truth.

hmmm, maybe this is why I haven’t bought one edition of the Tallahassee Democrap for the past 10 years. Lot’s of other people feel the same way and have been voting with their wallets as well. Last time I drove by their office on Magnolia they were letting the Ford dealer next door use their empty parking lot. 20 years ago when I moved here, that lot was packed with employee cars… how the times they are a changing. Too bad the Democrap is still blind to the fact that people are tired of being lied to.

In reply to Capt. Me. Cap'n, please reconsider. No candidate may be worthy of your vote, I share your pain, so vote for the benefit of your fellow citizens. You still have an hour or so. Ben

Thank you for repeating exactly what I’ve been saying for a decade.

In reply to Vic Aderhold. Being a privately owned business (Garrnett), they will be canned FAR sooner than 10 years, and Skip and his buds will be on the side of the road holding "will embellish for food" signs in the not so distant future.

“Exercise your right to be stupid, don’t vote.”

With all due respect Ben,
There isn’t a candidate worthy of my vote!
