How can paper have it both ways?

Posted December 31, 2007 10:00 pm

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, your publication was rife with ads and inserts, virtually begging people to spend.

Article after article related retailers' fears that Christmas spending this year would be down from previous years. I find it ironic that today's editorial ("Stop slide into credit card debt abyss" -- Dec. 31) promotes the idea of saving more than in the past.

It's kind of like biting the hand that feeds you. How can you have it both ways? After all, your masthead states, "Our aim: To fear God, tell the truth and make money." It is interesting that this editorial did not appear during the Christmas rush. Oh well, if you didn't make money, we wouldn't have a newspaper to keep up-to-date with news.

Oh, as usual, it wasn't hard to notice typos while browsing through the paper.
