However, I am an avid reader of novels great and small and have a appreciation for literature from the world over. I see grammatical errors everywhere and some even in the recent post so condescendingly bashing the ADJ's grammar and overuse of commonly used words I like to think of as Hollywood's styling put to pen. I concur that it seems quite monotonous as do the many other papers hitting the stands these days, but sensationalizing mundane idiots is what apparently sells papers. I'd thought for many years that the purpose of the news was to inform citizens of local and world events such as government issues, technology issues, economic issues with bits of relevant entertainment and of course, a few funnies to lighten the mood as there are not always enough stories about the great deeds of civility to write about (none that can be adequately sensationalized at the very least). However, I do find that in criticizing the one, the rest are just as guilty. Perhaps that makes me guilty as well, but then, if we'd simply all pay the fine the city could afford to create it's own new paper called the Antigo Times (where your news is A.T.!) and we'd no longer have to listen to our incoherent platitudes and rambling tongues.
