Short & To the Point: Tioga County Rural Newspaper Market

The intent of this blog is to promote human equality, human progress, human peace and justice, and optimism. To accomplish this, to encourage the discussion of ideas after identifying and discovering problems, and then creating positive solutions for "we the people," in order to provide for the "general welfare" and "domestic tranquility" of America now and its "posterity" into the future. To encourage an emphasis on separation of religion and state for all, no matter if this is for those "of faith" in a Maker / Creator (Deists, God-loving people, Christians, various people of spirituality) and atheists or agnostics.

Short & To the Point: Tioga County Rural Newspaper Market

May 17, 2021

If I suggest that the Sayre, PA, daily newspaper, Morning-Times, consider consolidating with weekly newspapers in Tioga County and deliver to this county, I am treated as if I am weird. In other words, “come on comrade, stop complaining and making suggestions for improvements for our lives.” The ones who are weird are those who think I am weird because I “have fun suggesting improvements for this great but imperfect nation I call home” (Frank Sinatra, 4 July 1974, Madison Square Garden concert with comments). Sinatra did not call on thugs to ram the capitol on Jan. 6 (had he been alive), but suggested that this nation is imperfect and we can have fun making it better, not act like thugs protecting criminals like John Hancock (he illegally imported alcohol from the islands and had a British agent killed when the agent’s activities were discovered) and protect the criminals of drug dealings in America today. The daily newspaper from Sayre, PA, provides better coverage of Newark Valley school sports and other news than the big conglomerate which owns newspapers in Binghamton and Ithaca and has pulled the plug on all local offices of the newspaper. These Gannett newspapers have made us and forced us all into receiving the USA Today with a concentration on non-local news, rather than giving good local coverage in Tioga County and delivering the newspaper in print copy. If I complain, I am weird. Comrade, Moscow style Pravda (Gannett) can do anything it wishes to do, don’t you know? So shut up comrade and go with the herd, whether that means being herded into cities and into the South we call Dixie or not getting your paper delivered in a timely manner. Just shut up and be like a good Chinese communist.
