Gannett Publishes Pocomoke Election Endorsement Letters In Wrong Paper

Pocomoke City lost a bit of local history when the Worcester County Messenger was sold out to Nationwide Corporate Giant Gannett, then rolled into the Worcester County Times, AKA Ocean City Times. In reading through the web based content with letters to the Editor I noted two letters of support for Bruce Morrison in his bid for re-election to the Pocomoke City Council last Tuesday April 1st.

The letters of support were published in the Ocean Pines Independent. WOW Does anyone check what they print there?

Click here to read them, they are very nice and supportive but a little bit late.

I find it incredulous that this publisher does not proof read advertising nor do they check content for context or if it is even in the correct publication.

Yes we supported Councilman Bruce Morrison in his election bid and its nice to see that Reverend Greg Powell wrote a nice letter of support and that Jimmy Hammond on behalf of the Pocomoke Fire Dept supported one of their own.

I am baffled as to who in Ocean Pines really cares about a Pocomoke City Municipal election and why these were not published last week in the Worchester County Times?

This is just one more example of what happens to a small town when they sell their souls & community assets to big business getting nothing for the community in return.
