I ask because the TD CONSISTENTLY ignores local events. There is either NO lead-up coverage, or there is only passing mention AFTER an event.  I may have missed it, but I see NO reference to the Renaissance Faire this weekend in the TD.

'The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.'

'When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.'

'And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.'

'An elective despotism was not the government we fought for.' - Thomas Jefferson

I can't answer that, but the TD does have problems reporting local news. It seems anywhere from loosely to highly censored. As for events, they will publish the day of the event. That doesn't really help people plan. On the flip side, I know some orgs, etc., don't send in their info early enough.

 

If you like crime news, don't rely on the TD entirely. Some days they seem to report local crimes, but other days the courthouse could be blown up and they'd wait 48 hours to report it...if then.

Of course it is anti-Shoals. The owners are from Decatur and much of our area coverage is from that area,... Moulton,... Lawrence Co,... etc. And someone said earlier that they report after the fact,... I agree. Seems like the local blogs and websites often get the jump on the TimesFaily,... their facebook weather page Shoals Weather isn't even that good,...
