I wonder what actually happened in each one of these circumstances? I am so sure "excellent" reporting occurred so we are getting the whole picture, eh?

Do you think, with all the blogs that are out there, that we are getting a more balanced picture of what is happening locally? How many of the local blogs do you read after reading the Daily A? Or do you bother reading it any more?

I was doing a read through the blogs linked on this site and found that Ms. Price had removed Astoria Rust from her blog role! Hmmm. Too bad. I think that she, herself, got a story wrong a while back with Sue Davies and wasn't convinced of it until the DA editor gave her some proof. How can she be upset with Astoria Rust? Has she provided him with "evidence" to the contrary? However, Astoria Rust's reply to Ms. Price's comment (which I actually read first) does lead one to believe a larger flame had been kindled.

Interesting reads, these blogs.

What we need, now, is a local sports blog, then we could use the Daily Astorian to post obituaries and the minutes of the Fair Board!

I hope *they* have that button to preview working!
