It seems such an obvious point, but apparently it needs to be said (for the, um, "intellectually challenged"):Isn't it curious that our local rag, the "West Haven (alleged) Voice" makes the claim that it is comprised of:
"News and Views By and For West Haven"
Yet...when you look into the belly of the beast, you'll find:
I disagree. If you choose to publish an opinion and label it as "independent" or "honest", you damned well better make the disclaimers as to where the sharks in your pool are swimming.
Otherwise, Billy-boy, you're no better than the political whores you cover. Only difference is, you've whored yourself to keep your paper going, whilst they whore themselves for power and status.
My opinions - and my disclaimers - are out in the open for all to attack or to support. This was the position of Colby Driessens (who was the original Felicia...and the man Riccio claims to be following.) My logo is "Unus vox vocis ex plures" (One voice out of the many)...maybe you should be as humble.
And people wonder why West Haven is considered "Bridgeport without the ambiance?" Hmmmm.....
Yet...when you look into the belly of the beast, you'll find:
- The Sales Manager is none other than Charles Marino: our one-time "Democratic" Registrar of Voters; he has had that position for, oh, about eight years. Billy Riccio (our fearless - or truthless - editor,) saw no reason to state that conflict last year...was that news or views for or by West Haven?
- Between June and September of 2009 - when 16 issues of the, um, "Voice" was inflicted upon the city, no fewer than 8 issues had articles written by Deborah Evangelista (a - losing - candidate in the September 15th primary). Little Billy didn't think this was worth a disclaimer...let alone eight disclaimers.
