For years it has been amazing to hear liberal environmentalist act like conservative Texans that were raised hunting and fishing and farming were not concerned about our environment. It has been ridiculous to hear how liberals brag about how they were standing up for the spotted owl and saving the whales while talking on their cell phones and driving their Cadillacs and how they were morally superior to Texans driving pick up trucks with pro life bumper stickers as they go about killing coyotes and other predators, rotating crops, planting acres of new pines, and restocking their ponds. I don’t agree with much these self proclaimed intellectuals and elites say, but there is one area I agree wholeheartedly on. DON’T WASTE PAPER (PERIOD).
If you were to ask me what happened that made me think of writing on this topic I would tell you it was a walk to the end of my driveway. After today’s rain I went to the end of the driveway to pick up trash someone had thrown in my yard. I picked up the partially wet trash by the grabbing the plastic bag. Inside the bag was an unsolicited newspaper. The portion of the paper I could still read told me several things. On the front page it told me there was a story somewhere in the paper about something that happened in Coldsprings. It also listed a story about a woman in Houston who had murdered all of her kids. Just as I noticed another story about another town outside of Liberty County I noticed the editor’s name. Vanesa Brashier.
That got me to wondering: Was this worth even a portion the wood of a tree? It made me wonder was a paper put together by Brashier for Liberty County distribution worth even printing if most of the ink just rehashed stories covered on the evening news on television or if the headlines helped me to save time reading a story about how it rained today.
It made me wonder how many of these newspapers are thrown in driveways like mine and are simply picked up and brought straight to the trash can? It made me wonder how bloated the numbers might be that indicate to advertisers how many people receive this paper. It made me wonder why anyone would advertise in newspapers today when anyone that listens to the news knows it is a dying industry.
No, I am still not a tree-hugger, but I love the outdoors – the animals, the water, the air, and the trees. Oh the wonderful trees. Finally an area we agree on: The trees cut down to print a newspaper full of fluff pieces, riddled with stories about communities outside of our county, and biased by a liberal editor who refuses to spend her time reporting on allegations of wrongdoing by her last few friends that have survived the purging of Democrats from elective office in this county.
In conclusion, I have no idea how a paper like this survives or who reads it, but I do know the Democrat who receive a pay check from the paper or who receive all kinds of slanted publicity from it appreciate even the conservatives who help support it.
Save a tree, don't take a newspaper, ergo- Cleveland Advocate & Dayton News.

Vaneesa is what she is, but we need a local newspaper. When and how will we get one is the question.
I have been writing to this site for over two years complaining about Vaneesa Brashier. What happened that you finally got the message?
Maybe LD didn't want to waate their space on people like Brashier or Buchanan!
Maybe Vaneesa Brashier and/or Bill Buchanan is a fake name and they are both the same person.....
They may look alike and act alike but they are definitely two different people. I know because one time Buchanan was live on the radio bloviating at the same time Vanessa was gasping for air walking up the courthouse steps as I got out of my car.
I would cancel my prescription or threaten to boycott her advertisers, but I have no prescription and I live in an apartment and don't even get one of the free ones that helps bump up their circulation.
They dont and will not deliver this paper down my road because it is a dead end. There are 11 families on this road and we dont have to look at the old papers laying in the street.
You might not be a tree-hugger, but you sound like a liberal democrat. The market will determine when a paper is no longer a viable way to communicate. I think you are letting your dislike of someone (though she may well be deserving of it) slant your opinion and it comes across like a spoiled brat.
Vanessa Brashhier is a piece of work! After the "Wild Hunt for Dead Bodies Report", how does she keep her job?
That paper Buchanian calls a newspaper contains only "SOCIAL" information with no real news stories.
The word is subscription usually, but in the case of these "news" outlets, it may be more like taking drugs and a "prescription". Either way, I agree it is more than a waste of time hearing what they have to say. It could be putting things in your head that are twisted a little and letting them direct you a llittle.Not me Bro!
yes I get driveway dumped too. Only mine is the Eastex Advocate, the third in the garbage group. As to the waste of a perfectly good tree or forest, hear hear.
If the City Councils of our fine cities had any guts and did not enjoy seeing their pics all the time, they would ban the throwing of unsolicited papers to people who do not want them. The papers should only throw to citizens that subscribe even if it is free. If not solicited it is litter and I thought that was a crime in Texas.
tree huggers and out of town 'news' articles? Here's one that appeared in all three of duhhNesa, duhhh-Chess of Dumbass' rags. It meets both criteria. Somebody tell us how this is news for Eastex Advocate- "circulation" (ha) being Shepherd and Coldspring:
