Here I am attempting to find out about the South Walton Fire District budget and I had to look in the Defuniak Herald/ Beach Breeze. I find that there is an issue of where our government entities post the budget information. I read both the Herald and Beach Breeze and the Walton Sun for information. Unfortunately the Sun has lacked both content and substance for a while. I can't recall seeing very much about the budgets of any government entity. Come on SUN see if you can print some coverage, instead of burying news of this area on the back pages. This used to be a pretty fair paper. Tell us the positions of ALL Candidates, or is the relationship more important. I will give another month of reading the SUN and see if there are improvements, but lacking that, I will use it to wrap mullet. I guess I will have to start reading the Destin Log for information.

I pay for advertising every time I buy groceries, eat at a restaurant, purchase furniture, etc.

Businesses place ads n the paper because they expect peopleto read their ad as they read the news articles.

No news no ads.

IG: :lolabove:You make some outstanding points. I too feel the SUN is a mullet wrapper that is jammed packed full of propaganda, printing exaggerated, half-truths, pushed by a few who are "connected" to their adgenda. For what?! I don't know. What a poor excuse for toilet paper. If there is one thing that turns my stomach it is inaccurate, bias "news sources." :bang:

AL: :clap:I commend you for being one who strives to report news, not steaming pony-loaf, like the SUN. I truly hope you see this an opportunity to take the lead in reporting truth in this area, because if you are as truthful and unbias as you implied, I will spread the word. A bias news source is nothing more than a irritating commercial, disguised as something you would take the time to read. I have one thing to say to the SUN and other bias, so-called news sources...WHAT COLOR IS THE SKY IN YOUR WORLD?:bang:

Thank you all for your posts. This was long overdue. And thank you for tolerating my rant.:clap:
