Thursday's Comments Soared Over 400

Yesterday we received, (so far) 425 comments for the day. These were the ones we accepted and fortunately there were not as many rejected comments as we usually get.

I have to tell you Folks, moderating that kind of volume of comments, having to read every word and then publish or reject each and every one of them is quite a challenge.

On top of that you have to produce articles throughout the day and even travel to get new news. Because of the volume yesterday I had to step in most of the day and take care of comments as well. So it was a tough day yesterday, that's for sure.

Nevertheless, I tried keeping an eye on the comments for the Daily Times yesterday and quite frankly I didn't even see them go over 15 comments for the entire day. Another key reason they're failing. It's important to get your readers involved.

The way the MSM does things is, they want to produce stories that tell their side of things and their hope is that you do say nothing at all. Therefore they kind of brain wash you into believing whatever they say is the entire story. With Americans being as busy as we are, many simply rely on what they're being told and move on.

Here at Salisbury News, we want your input. If you think we're wrong, that's OK. The more we get you involved the more educated we all become. This is Our Country, NOT the MSM!

Allow me to share one example of a story recently in which shows the difference between the MSM & Salisbury News. When the County Executives Office put out the story the other day about praising the Warden for his great performance settling problems with the Department of Justice, the letter, (Press Release) said absolutely nothing about it taking them 8 years to comply.

If we would have simply produced the article, (Press Release) without mentioning that it took 8 years to comply, you would have been sold on the fact that what we shared with you was a simple matter and resolved, move on to the next article.

We try to bring you as much information as possible and allow the story to take even more shape through your comments and that's what's so important, (IMHO) with Blogs.

We certainly have our fair share of critics out there but quite frankly, they have no clue what we're doing. We're so far ahead of their ability to think in advance, they simply believe we're out to attack any one and every one. We're here to tell you what every one else doesn't.

That being said, we appreciate your visiting and we truly appreciate your comments as it makes Salisbury News that much more credible.
