And with that.... The Eye goes off the deep end. No longer content to print Republican Party press releases verbatim, The Eye has now made itself the fundraising arm of the local GOP.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad, because this once looked like it was becoming a respectable news outlet.
It is an advertised public event- send in a Dem one and it will be posted too-
ReplyDeleteI am a member of MRTC and yes I posted a notice for a fundraiser because the public is invited, and the Eye is a good place to post community organized events. I too am a candidate on the Republican ticket, read my bio. I would be more than happy to post a notice for a fundraiser from the town Democrats if I was asked to do so. I posted Giuliano's kick off speech and at the end of the article extended an invitation to also publish announcements by the Democrats's as well. I have not been asked too, but I continue to extend the invitation.
ReplyDeleteI have posted past community events & fundraisers I have had a shared interest in, and some I have not as a courtesy- I do not see how it makes a difference - I am relaying a message to the community as information.
The Middletown Press published an editorial written by it's Chief Editor endorsing the Dem mayoral candidate; very ambiguous as to whether the whole paper shared this view or just this editor. But really it does not make a difference as it was an editorial, not reported as news.
At the Eye, we are a diverse collective- while we may have different views individually- the advantage is as a collective you get all views possible one way or another. Opinions and commentary is just that, a one person's viewpoint. Community event bulletins are informational, any persuasion deduced is on the part of the reader to have done so. News is reported factually, and the reader can discern where the truth in it lies for themselves.
