St. Mary's Today Advertiser Boycott

[milanlf2]

Hello,

I have been living in St. Mary's county for roughly 6 years now. As many of you know, there are very few sources of news local to southern MD. We have SOMD.com and the Enterprise which provide honest news stories based on facts. Often times though, you only get a small article regarding the subject you wish to read about (not a fault of either of these organizations, just reality). So what do we do? We turn to the internet and search for the topic which we'd like to know more about. This search often leads to the St. Mary's Today. This RAG tries to pass itself off as real news. The only thing real coming from this organization is the bitter views of its editor, Mr. Ken Rossignol. His articles are written on 10% truth and 90% attention grabbing B.S. I keep waiting to read about how he fathered Tara Reid's alien baby. Maybe in next weeks edition...

Most of us know all about the St. Mary's Today and realize that it is just the fake news ala "The Enquirer". But many of us have friends and family from out of town who also stumble upon this mass of jumbled words spewed from a bitter man and do not know the history of lies which it produces.

Okay, the point of this thread...
What can we do about this situation? He's has first amendment rights just as I do right?

This is what I propose:

-Go to www.stmarys.com

-Write down the names of every advertiser on the site.

-BOYCOTT these businesses until they remove their advertisements from the St. Mary's Today website!!

Don't allow our local honest businesses to be mired in the soot that the St. Mary's today creates.

Please reply to this thread to show your support of this boycott and let southern maryland know that we won't stand for the false reporting of our neighbors, friends and family.

Thank you,

Lance Milan

Sorry, typo.

I can't agree at all. It might not be the best written paper, but the stories are generally true. Ken has just dedicated himself to covering DWI's and what he percieves as injustices perpetrated by "the man" on all of us.
I don't believe everything that is written in any paper, but to say that the today is 90% lies is total BS

If you read the first one, its not being reported as a fact, but as a letter that was forwarded to the editor.......

And i'm not saying that he doesn't print inaccuracies, but on the whole, he prints what happens in the county, most of the people that have a problem with him have been featured on the DWI Hit Parade.

I know plenty of people who have never been featured in his rag, but they still know it's a rag.

I'm not saying its not poorly written and slanted, but the original post claims its only 10% true, and that just isn't the case.
