What's Up With The Daily Times?

After several e-mail messages tipping me off about the Daily Times today, I took a stroll over to their Website and couldn't believe my eyes. Today's paper is mostly old Salisbury News. I mean, right down to the old barns and so forth.

Oh well, it just goes to show you Folks, you can get all of your local news right here for free and not have to pay that rag any more. These people have no pride whatsoever. Isn't it funny how all of a sudden out of nowhere they did an article about the Homeless from Elkton, yet they said NOTHING at all about the Mayor and Police Chief taking every ones belongings here in Salisbury. This is what I mean by them covering up stories Folks.

Once again I'll remind everyone that I frequently get calls from employees at the Daily Times asking me what the connection is when people call them the Tilghman Times. Being that I know they're reading this article, DO YOU GET IT NOW?

The Daily Times only tells you what's already out there. Very Rarely do you get the luxury of ANY investigative reporting from that Newspaper, because they're so afraid the mad woman from the GOB will come in there again screaming and yelling, cursing like a sailor and tell them what they can or can't say or do.

So look around Folks. ALL of your Main Stream Media on the Eastern Shore are coming to Salisbury News and taking stories from us on a daily basis, never having to leave their building. I'd say it's time to drop that subscription.

Old news is no news, New news is SBY NEWS. The daily times should stop wasting trees.

Sorry Daily Times but nice try. One of their employees just tried to put a link up to their site from here thinking I'd be dumb enough to put it up. Idiots!

They will eventually be forced to go online only. They are now just trying to build a base at Dailytimessucks.com so when they are ready they will tell you how much it will cost you to have access online. That's when I quit reading it for free.

There, is that better now? ROTFLMAO!

I'll say this. At least whenever we bring up an article aboutr the Daily Times we link to them or give them credit for the article or information. WMDT has recently been kind enough to share they too got information from Salisbury News. Give credit where credit is due. It will be the downfall of the Daily Times, subscription wise anyway.

Joe who got shot last night and is he still alive. Another great night Slimesbury. Another Black on Black shooting. It is o.k. though it will be blamed on society, poor policing. Bull Shit! This city is in trouble when right in the core of the city you have thugs chasing eachother shooting it out. The thug that was shot ran to the hospital on his own. The shooting occurred right there at the Exxon. I dont know i am sure SPD will catch these guys. It is not the police dept fault that Salisbury thugs are knee deep. It is the parents of these thug that are responsible for this. Call it what you want.

There will NOT be a charge for people at any point and time to visit Salisbury News. There may come a day when we start advertising but we have no interest in charging our loyal viewers to see what we have to offer every day.

The DT, and Gannett in general, regards the internet version of the paper more like an experiment. The concept is that a tree holder will spend more time with the paper and read more ads than the internet browser, who stays at the site for only 2-5 minutes, therefore that's where they print their classifieds which is their meat and potatoes of income.
I propose that if they had more than Monster.com and Cars.com in their internet classifieds, that the internet reader would have more to read and stay on longer.
But that and having truly all- sided investigative interesting stories would make sense! We wouldn't want that, now, would we?

The only reason I go to the daily times is to see if anyone I grew up with or know got a DUI. I never drink and drive, never, but I harp on everyone I know about it.

It looks like the DT fired their website guy, Brian Gilliand. I wonder if the Christmas ornanament for sale with the deceased child's melted toy on it had anything to do with that!

Well at least the news room had their Holiday luncheon. They seemed to forget about everyone in production. No food, no drink, no thank you, no go to hell. Nothing.

I have already been blessed with health, warmth and family this season. But will someone please tell me if in fact that Brian G. toad really got the can-that would be gravy on my holiday potatos. That punk was a miserable wretch of a human being.

Anon 2:24, you're a dummy. Web guy got laid off like a few others. The DT had as much to do with the xmas ornament thing on the website as they do over the weather: none. That was out of their control. Stop harping on it honestly how insane can u be.

I'm just a reader, but I really wish you and the Times would hash this stuff out. No reason why we can't use both (along with the TV) to get our daily news. I know that I certainly do. The more news sources, the merrier, as far as I'm concerned.

I used to send letters to the editor, I got tired of my words being deleted, twisted, one time they cut off a sentence and didn't even add the period.

My grammer may have a lot to be desired however when you remove power points of my opinion then it's no longer my editorial. It's like my sister says, it's not what you say, it's how people interpret those words.

That being said if I want to be heard in my entirety I will do it here, poor grammer and all, ya all. Peace Out and Have a happy New Year Damnit! : )

I saw some guy discussing printed vs internet news on Tv a few days ago and he brought up a good point.While it seems almost pagan to some of us "wired" people, there are still many people out there who simply are not online, for whatever reason.They are the only ones keeping newspapers solvent.

If the paper colapses what am I to use to clean my windaws ? My cat box liner ? The table cover for the crab picnics And not leastly the bottom of my pet birds cage ?

Joe,
I think they are pretty damn smart. Why should they work harder to get the same news on this blog?
COPY PASTE COPY PASTE...done! You are the idiot working all those hours for free. They don't work harder, they work smarter. HaHa
