A Near Record Day

Yesterday was an outstanding day for Salisbury News. Why, I can't exactly explain that but I'll take it. It's been a while since we saw these kind of numbers and obviously people are tuning in and listening to what Salisbury News is delivering.

Thanks for visiting and we'll continue to do our best to deliver you our view of what's going on locally and sometimes around the Country.

While I have your attention allow me to say this. When it comes to comments, some people get very upset when they see someone very angry about a particular topic. Look, what's important for everyone to realize is this. One day a topic/article is going to come up that YOU are very passionate about and or perhaps angry and you're going to express your opinion. Am I to censor those comments too? Let EVERYONE get their chance to say their peace, right or wrong. At least here you'll not only get the opportunity to express your opinion, you'll also get the opportunity to counter that opinion you might not like and hopefully there's a healthy debate about the issues.

Salisbury News is not right about everything we share our OPINION about and in many cases we learn from all of you. Just as you do every day when we share things the Daily Times is scared to death to get even close to. Be thankful there's a place to voice your opinion and stop being so black and white about issues. Hopefully we're ALL out for the same end results which is a better, more well informed community.

Well, one of my little morning joys when I get in to work is checking the news....Salisbury News.

Great job Joe, obviously with your numbers lol.

I really do appreciate what you do, Joe. I couldn't be happier that we have a forum like this to discuss important issues. I also appreciate you noting here that you share opinion. That said, it is frustrating that in both comments and posts, this site has such a dramatically 'right' lean. I understand that our beloved Shore has the same lean, but it is more slight (look at the party identification #s) than the lean of this site. I appreciate that this is your blog and you can do what you like with it but so often you purport to represent the feelings of a plurality of Shore residents. I think the reason any of this is troubling is the use of the word "news". In a culture where every supposed 'journalist' is nothing but a partisan in sheep's clothing, it would be nice if this hub of discourse stopped trying to compare itself to news outlets (we get that newspapers are dying, particularly our lame Salisbury rag) and dropped the word 'news' unless it was going to be a site absent of opinion... and I don't think any of us want or anticipate that occurring. Anyway, thanks for your hard work, Joe. Just a random thought.

If you want to see the left side, purchase the Daily Times.

I agree you lean a little right, even I am a republican, but the news is so biased that its nice to have some good right leaning news every once and a while.
