The liberal media in this country has caused many cancellations of newspaper subscriptions and caused Fox News to become the most powerful name in cable news by the way they cover some news and the way they fail to cover scandalous behavior by local and national government officials.
Many of the politically informed conservatives and moderates in Liberty County have learned the same lessons as the nation. Our local media has put their liberal spin on news stories for years and they have allowed a great deal of corruption to grow throughout the corridors of power in the Liberty County Courthouse by not investigating and reporting things that the public needed to know.
After years and years of the media failing to do their job, Liberty Dispatch entered the picture fully disclosing it comes from a conservative perspective and expressing a desire to fill in the huge gaps left by the local media and to expose their lies. We think we have forced the local media to report the news differently, but we are still amazed at what they do, or don’t do, from time to time.
A great example is the absence of even one news report on the proposal by Commissioner’s Court to double Liberty County’s debt. With the exception of Liberty Dispatch, not one local newspaper or the local radio station or the local car wreck blog has said a word. I can’t imagine any county in the United States that has media like ours. The good people of this county deserve the kind of press that our Founding Fathers envisioned and even provided protection for in the Bill of Rights.
But in Liberty County the media seems to do very little to challenge authority or question the powerful. In fact, because of the way they conduct their business, Liberty County has been ill informed and misinformed concerning the good ole boy system that has thrived here in our county. We hope that people are beginning to notice that what some may have thought were crazy made up Liberty Dispatch accusations of scandals by public officials they are now appearing to be accurate reports of the kind of misbehavior and criminal activity.
The fact that you may only read about it here, well that is not evidence it is not true. In fact, it may be that if it is only reported here, that it is something the pro Democratic Party media knows will upset the way they like things.
Nevertheless, regardless of your view of the media, they have failed to report that our Commissioners’ Court may be signing us all up for bankruptcy and that is “news that matters” to all of us.

Really? How....can you inform us of the details instead of just throwing useless rhetoric onto a web page? If you are going to accuse and point fingers let us know what in the world you are talking about....thanks.
RE: Really? How....can you inform usof.... Liberty Dispatch are you letting Bill and alan comment on here again? They should keep it on food guide/gossip website.
These people are getting advertising money to "cover the news" and they are telling Liberty Dispatch to give the details? Get your little rear ends in the car and drive down to the courthouse and go up to the County Auditor's office and YOU report whatever details you think LD didn't cover. What kind of "news" are you reporting when you don't tell us about the doubling of county debt? You are all bloodsucking self promoters!
Hahahahaha!Looks like you guys hit a nerve. Bill is busy defending Phil Fitzgerald and Allen is too busy hyperventilating over negative comments he posts about Christianity or Republicans to cover a little ole story about the potential bankrupty of the county.
I already cancelled my subscription to the local paper but they continue to throw it in my driveway. the parrot knows what to do with it though.
I love it. These people have staff and a budget to go out and collect the news and they miss a story that any county I have ever been in would cover and when their lazy partisan habit is revealed they complain about getting scooped. Quit whining. If you want more details before reporting the Beausoliel scandal then sobeit, but don't use it as an excuse. You people only report negative things on Democrats when you know they are coming out anyway!
read the first item on the Advocate's police blotter

It seems that they frequently get complaints, and are so scared of the fruits of their own labors, that they run to the cops for protection. Yes, 100 W Hanson, is their address.
For even more fun, read the new story, and see that they have caused a buyer boycott of their city businesses, to the tune of $225,000 in lost city sales tax revenue for the year. Which, at three percent, represents eight million dollars in lost sales for local businesses. Yes, their schemes and scandals with the local chamber has caused the hens to return home to roost.

I see DS is being allowed to post his folderol comments again.
If any of that post is 'folderol', then produce the PROOF that the advocate is not a chamber member, its editor not a chamber board member, that the advocate did not promote the chamber's stealing of the $3M civic center- at taxpayer's expense, that the 100 block of W. Hanson st is not their address, or that they have not filed numerous harrasment complaints with the PD, on multiple persons, none of which were ever found to be worthy of an arrest- nor anything but self defense- for months of in-print abuse by the advocate.
