WBOC, Copy & Paste

All too often people come on here and make comments stating I copy and paste articles and I'm not a real news site. While I don't expect 99% of you to be up this early, (and you shouldn't) but as I sit here and watch WBOC, it's 14 minutes into their broadcast and there's not been ONE single local news story. Fire in Virginia, fire in New Jersey, shooting in Chicago and the list goes on and on. 

That, (ladies & gentlemen) is COPY AND PASTE. I do not park in handicap parking spaces, (above) and I am ONE individual dedicating my personal time to bring you news and information I personally feel you'll be most interested in. 

I can tell you that I guarantee no one at WBOC got up yesterday at 3 AM, worked all day and night till I got home at 2:30 AM and I am now up at 6:00 AM to put today's articles together. 

Maybe it's time I rethink just what the hell I'm doing here with SBYNews. It's now 6:50 AM and still not one local piece of news, just weather.

Hang in there Joe; you have many fans that trust you and your articles. SBY News is my "go to" for sure.

I remember a few years ago the Daily Times' headline story was about farmers/farmers. Now of all the farms and farmers we have locally the story was an AP copy and print. I found it unbelievable that they couldn't have done a local story on farming.
To say Sby News isn't a news site just proves how moronic some are. It most certainly is a news site. It is a compilation of stories put together that readers will find of interest. When local news stories or things of interest to your viewer a post is made. The fact that your readership way outpaces the other so called local news sites proves beyond any doubts that THEY need to look to Sby News for how it's done successfully.

I can honestly attest to the fact that the photo in this post was an actual occurrence, as I am the one who took it in Cambridge last summer and sent it to Joe. Both WBOC and the Daily Disappointment (which I only browse online) have nothing of any value in the way of local news.

7:52, What is your position at WBOC?

7:52 - what a disgusting comment. You clearly need help!

You are a very sick person in need of help. Take my advice before you harm someone. Viewer from Florida.

Ditto from Florida. Left 2yesrs ago - couldn't afford taxes and water fees in Fruitland. Enjoy your blog. Agree WBOC carries only cut and paste and Delaware news.

n all the years that I have been following SBY News, I have never found any crap as such in the Daily Slime. SBY News is always fress to the point and always with current LOCAL news. I appreciate every day that I can read SBY News with my coffee each morning.

Congratulations to the editor and many contributors of SBY News for a job well done. Keep up the great service to our community, THANK YOU.

You are appreciated Joe. I left Salisbury after graduating from WiHi but still like to keep up with what's happening there. I can't believe my small hometown safe haven is a drug addled crime driven community. How sad.
As for the national and international news, the sources you have are mostly different from the msm and also much appreciated. I have learned much.
God Bless you for the work and please don't stop.
BUT it would be ok if you slept in every now and then :)

They had to expand to DE. IMO Sherwood was keeping them afloat with an ad every ten minutes. No one here wants to do business with them so they had to get money elsewhere.

WBOC sucks

7:52, at least get the weather right sometimes. The farmers almanac does better than WBOC

How can we provide news tips joe?

I watch WMDT. They at least offer local news and weather. I enjoy the showcase of local restaurants on foody Fridays. I also have an app on my Amazon firestick that allows me to watch Maryland news on WBAL and WMAR in Baltimore. A lot of decisions are made out of Annapolis that affects the Eastern Shore and this is not being reported very well in our local news.

As far as WBOC, I don't watch their news. I see the dirt bikes with their hooded masks and no lights and tags are back out in Salisbury. 3 on Beglin Park Drive last night at 6:30 P.M. Flew by me at a high speed. Crazy.

It's very simple: Joe, you and this site are greatly appreciated by countless people for your point of view, courage, and sense of humor, while 7:52, you are an anonymous, insignificant chickensh*t.

Joe, you are the go to source for true and correct news for the area. The MSM for this area are incompetent at best and criminal co-conspirators at worst. The old boy network in this area is a good reason to move away.
But your website is a shining light here. Keep up the good work if you can.

Northwest Woodsman: Joe, I discovered your site a while back and it is part of my morning routine every day. I graduated from Snow Hill High School and had a couple of semesters at Salisbury State and then went into the army for a career as an aviator. Difficult and time consuming to explain my subsequent careers, however, I was a criminal investigator for Clark County, NV for a ten year period.i had an assigned parking spot for my government vehicle at the courthouse and was in and out of it depending on assignments. Frequently I would return to find an unauthorized vehicle in my spot so I would park behind them and block them in until I was ready to leave. One morning, there was a local tv vehicle parked there and a heavily made up bimbo climbing out of it. I yelled that she was in my parking spot and she had to move. Her response was “Oh, I’m from the media.” My response was “Oh, I’m not impressed!” I told her to move it or I would have it towed. I received a nasty and confused look from her and as I blocked her vehicle, she became very seductive and cute and asked me to let her out which I did. She left and I never has issues with the media parking there again. Guess the word got out. Needless to say, it was a very satisfying encounter.

Thank Culver for wanting a drug rehab center in poplar hill and Joey supporting it.

12:20 - The heavily made up bimbo...was her name Julie?

My guess is 7:52 is that fat EB blogger who feigns handicap status so he can lay around all day and feel like he’s some celeb when he graces local events with his presence. The only person really threatened in Salisbury by SbyNews is that garbage site which copies and pastes Albero articles.
