A View on the View

Below is an article by Phyllis Crockett found in this month's KCADW Voice:
The Kendall County Area Democratic Women have submitted, on several occasions, information, event announcements and articles to "Hill Country View" newspaper in Boerne for publication. "The View" has consistently found excuses to not publish our information while giving the Republicans publicity. Admittedly, it is difficult if not impossible to find a balanced publication interested in investigation and truth and able to rise above the "he said, she said" journalism of today. From Rupert Murdoch's "San Antonio Express-News" to the "Boerne Star" they all seem to repeat the talking points of the right. But they at least publish meeting dates and give a corner every once in a while to our events and concerns. While "The View" may publish what it wishes, their attitude certainly does not represent the true journalistic ideals. We as consumers should evaluate all information when deciding what to buy or in this case what to subscribe to. Please consider the above when buying or subscribing to "The View."

-----
"The View" called us one night several weeks ago, asking us to subscribe to their publication. After hemming and hawing for a moment, VTexan told them they were just a little too Republican for his taste! I guess we're not the only ones who feel that way! Thanks, Phyllis, for giving us a heads up on this.
