SHAME ON THREE-QUARTERS OF THE LOCAL MEDIA
CKCO-TV, K-W Record and Woolwich Observer where are you? Nobody expects you to keep up with the Michener Award winning Elmira Independent by attending and reporting on every monthly public Chemtura Public Advisory Committee (CPAC) meeting. That the Independent have done this literally for two decades is fabulous. The other three media have from time to time shown their faces, with the Woolwich Observer years back, being more diligent. It is not possible for one weekly paper to be able to cover 100% of the local important issues that are raised at CPAC meetings. For example the posting following this one is titled "DMNA it they missed perfect by this much". This is in reference to the two excellent CPAC stories in this week's Independent; but the fact that they didn't have space to quote THREE CPAC members who publicly stated that there are "other sources" of groundwater contamination in Elmira that need to be looked at, in order to assure eventual cleanup of the Elmira aquifer.

A Poem
ReplyDeleteThe media is ye
The Advocate is for thee
As one can see
Chemtura must decree
That wrongs shall be right
And soils are contrite
Pollution is po po
The clean up must GO!
this post is about as looney as the whole website
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Is the second comment referring to the first comment (poem) or to my posting (Shame on local media). If it refers to the poem I disagree. I kind of like the poem . If the looney comment is about me I can only suggest that you are twice blessed. One an anonymous complimentary post is nice, an anonymous insulting one is cowardly. Secondly I notice that your comment is on a post which is a week old and hence quite likely not to get noticed for a while. Are you being sneaky or did you just not have anything relevant or factual to say on the more recent posts.
