A Perfect Example From The Daily Times Today


Or was it yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that? I'll have to look into MY archives and see just what date we posted the same articles but the Daily Times is so far behind it isn't funny.

Someone just made this comment seconds ago, "for the last two are three weeks when I read the news on delmarvanow.com. it gets really redundant lately or I'm reading it elsewhere first whatever, it sure seems to take less and less time at that site and I've been reading there for years."

Well if you think that's bad, the Daily Times is supposed to be serving YOU the citizens. When the majority of their clients are citizens of Salisbury and the crime continues to go through the roof, do they report it? NO, absolutely not! Do you know why they don't report it? Because Salisbury News reports it first and the Daily Times, (IMO) refuses to re post ANY SPD Press Releases because I have it up first, usually. The way they figure it is, if the SPD doesn't get their information printed in the Times they'll get ticked off and tell the SPD that if they don't give them the information ahead of time, (before the Blog) they're NOT going to print it.

I have heard through the grapevine that Chief Webster gets upset because the Daily Times is given their Press Releases, yet they never print it. OK, why? Why is it when the Daily Times wrote an article in favor of my Wife years ago announcing hundreds of animal deaths at the Zoo, the Mayor and ENTIRE City Council stormed into the Daily Times screaming and yelling, cursing like a Sailor demanding they never produce another article like that again, yet they have NO INTEREST in Public Safety? Does it make any sense to you?

Then I look at the paper recently and I see Rehoboth Beach news, Pocomoke, every surrounding area except Salisbury for news, why? Because Salisbury News is kicking their a$$ and they can't keep up. Oh, do tell me Folks, do you want news from Rehoboth, because I have no interest in covering that far away so it's not going to happen. However, the Daily Times is seeing a massive decrease in Salisbury sales yet they must be picking up on sales in Rehoboth?

Oh well, if you want your news two days later, go to the Daily Times.

Most of the news on the Daily Times' website is available on the (Wilmington, DE) News Journal website BEFORE it's available on the DT.
