Can
we rely on the news?
9-15-00
To
the editor:
If
you listen to what the presidential candidates are saying, you
hear a lot about taxes, Medicare, education, health care, and so
on. I know it can be drastically painful to listen to the
politicians spin their own ideas. To pay any attention at any
level of detail at all is confusing, frustrating and can cause
many to become apathetic towards the entire process.
The
above situation leads many of us to monitor the political news by
catching a headline here or there. We do this by watching the
evening news, reading news online or in a newspaper, or by
listening to the radio.
However,
can we, as citizens and voters, rely on the information we here in
the news to make quality decisions when it comes time to choose
who represents us in government? I would like to hear your opinion
on the following questions:
Does
the media cover the Presidential election in an objective manner
that is not partial to either candidate?
Does
the media dig in to the issues enough so that you can make an
educated decision when it comes time to vote?
I
would simply like to ask you to pay a little closer attention to
the way in which the Presidential candidates are covered by the
major media.
I
also encourage readers to respond to the questions I have raised.
Discussion, not sparring, of the issues is healthy for the
process. Besides, it would be nice to hear what real people, not
politicians, believe.

Dear
LDN:
I
have been searching for news from home for a while now and
stumbled across your website. It is great, finally a link to home.
I am currently in Liberty Missouri, just north of Kansas City. I
left Lincoln around 1984. I will be looking here daily for
hometown news and other sections of you site for information and
old friends. Once again, Thank You for the great site.

Thanks
for articles, public action
on bird problem in Mayfair
9-7-00
To
the editor:
September
6, 2000
Just
a note to thank you, Joan Crabb, for the good articles you wrote
about the" Bird Situation" in the Mayfair Addition here
in Lincoln. It is a serious health situation and we are thankful
Mayor Ritter and the City Council acted so quickly on this matter.
As you know the program starts tonight and my husband Wilmer and I
are anxious to get rid of the problem birds in the area. On behalf
of the residents of Mayfair, my husband and I want to especially
thank our Alderman Mike Montcalm and Joe Stone. They worked very
hard to get this ordinance amended so that something could be done
quickly. Wilmer and I also want to thank the residents of Mayfair
for their strong support on this issue. Without their help we
wouldn't have been successful...
Thanks
again,
Wilmer
and Patricia Birk
