The Daily Times Fails To Offer And Educated/Informed Endorsement Once Again

You would think in order to deliver YOU an informative and educated endorsement of a candidate, one would believe the Editors at the Daily Times would have at least INTERVIEWED the candidate, right?

Well, that's just not the case with Beau Oglesby. It should be clearly understood, Beau was never asked to do an interview either. They never did a video interview with Beau and the Editors never called him to ask him about his platform in any way, shape or form.

Now I'd like to think that the Daily Times doesn't have an agenda and I'd like to be fair but after a few of these endorsements I think its only fair that YOU the public get to know that while the Daily Times is SHORT STAFFED, the screw ups continue and it could be at the expense of numerous candidates.

Now you're more than welcome to go HERE or HERE to watch Beau's interviews on Salisbury News. Unfortunately his opponent Joel Todd refused to do an interview with the scary Salisbury News.

Everybody and their Brother has endorsed Beau Oglesby. Every FOP, heck, if that doesn't tell you alone the position of Law Enforcement and the Court System and how disgusted they are with Joel Todd, I just don't know what else to tell you. No disrespect towards Mr. Todd, it is what it is and the people in his industry have clearly spoken.

For the Daily Times to take the position they have is just beyond me. They are slipping faster than we had thought. This is NOT about the DT's having a difference of opinion over Salisbury News. Come on Folks, Todd was caught sending out multiple mailers stating certain people supported or endorsed him when they absolutely did not. Then he went and threw his Wife under the bus over the whole thing. This is about influencing your readers on how the masses/citizens feel or support certain candidates. Its about delivering facts, platforms, experience and intent.

Just look at Seth Mitchell's campaign, hence the letter from the Vincent Family above this post. If these two people can't be straight up as States Attorneys, how can the DT's endorse them? Oh, that's right, this is the Eastern Shore where people are supposed to be so stupid, they pay for a newspaper that misleads them because their cult followers will do what they say. I DON'T THINK SO, NOT ANY MORE, ANYWAY.

With Salisbury News on the prowl, the Good Old Boy System is disappearing very quickly. We have provided candidate interviews on video to allow you the opportunity to make your own educated choices. When we respectfully offered our endorsements we did so with YOUR best interests in mind, NOT special interests instead.

I think it's a shame how the DT's has handled themselves and I certainly hope the voters show them that the Eastern Shore people are much smarter these days because they are better informed and they're not going to follow the cult way of thinking any more. Vote Beau Oglesby for Worcester States Attorney and Matt Maciarello for Wicomico County States Attorney. THEY DON'T LIE!

By the way, it didn't cost you $ .75 cents to read the TRUTH again today.

It's strange the Times didn't even mention Todd straying away from campaign mailer rules.

I'll give you one equally as good as this. They supposedly "interviewed" each candidate running for Somerset Co. Sheriff. One candidate didnt both to show up (Bell) and never called to say he wasnt coming. Webster was interviewed by way of the Times asking questions. But when it cames Jones' turn, he was told "you have 15 minutes to tell us whatever you want". Now...couldnt you think so show they are fair and unbiased, each candidate would be asked the SAME questions?? unreal...

I wonder how dumb they think we are...let's ponder this. Joel's wife, Anita, worked at The Daily Times. Oh, wait-she also works for The Bayside Gazette. Oh yeah, she worked at OC Today and her bestie, Nancy Powell, still "works" there. I recall seeing a post on Joel's facebook page that Nancy wanted a "bumper sticker for my kayak". The clincher and evidence that the good ol boy network is alive and well in Worcester County? Steve Green attended Worcester Prep-same school as Joel. Look up Worcester Prep Alumni on Facebook and check out the pictures of Joel and above mentioned editor of The Dispatch hugging one another. Real objective journalism there. I doubt any of these editors spoke with Beau-Anita probably wrote the endorsements for them.

I voted for Beau last time, and want to vote for him again this election, but I have yet to see him in the south part of the county - Pocomoke City! Come on, Beau, where have you been? We certainly have our share of crime -even a MURDER across from the middle school recently! Please show your face and let us know what you're going to do for us! Time's running out!

I agree 12:41. I live in Pocomoke too. Does Beau even know that we are part of Worcester County too?

Hasn't he been at the Pocomoke VFD? I may be wrong, but I think I've read that somewhere, 12:41.

I think he was at the Pocomoke Fair also.

Yes. I spoke to him there. He was also at the Blessing of the Combines and he was at the Worcester County Fair.

I place very little faith in newspaper endorsements. Here on the shore,The paper's are mostly run or owned by Good ole' boys who almost always endorse the other good ole' boys and that's just the way it is. Honestly, if the newspapers had their way, nobody new would ever even bother to run for office.

I saw him at the Worcester County Fair but I never saw him at the Pocomoke Fair. I was at the Pocomoke Fair on two different days. Maybe I just missed him.
