A friend has informed me that the Gazette will no longer serve the county. Delivery eliminated. This just leaves you with the Intermountain, the Times, and the Pocahontas Commentator.
you're the real idiot; there are a lot of older folks in the county who have no computer, no computer access, and/or are not computer savvy to get on the internet; so losing the Gazette is a big deal when one considers that the Times prints practically nothing but fluff; they have yet to report on the bar committee's recommendation to the supreme court that jl clifton's law license be suspended for the very reasons he was originally indicted by a grand jury but got a sweetheart ruling from an over-the-hill retired judge
You have to excuse the internet idiot . They have no clue that many older people do not use the internet let along use a computer.about all they know is about themself and that's all they care about. The Road Runner...
I hate to be the bearer of bad (or good, depending on how you look it) news, but the Gazette is just as bad, if not worse, than the Times in reporting on substantive news about Pocahontas County. The first - and last - story they did on Mr. Clifton was when he, and Totten were indicted three years ago for their respective sexcapades. So, please excuse me if I don't weep any tears over the demise of a modern-day dinosaur. Don't expect the Inter-Mountain to pick up the slack. Those in the current management are a pack of ONI kool-aid drinkers. By the way, since Pocahontas County has public library system, then everyone, including the old folks, has access to the Internet.
Sorry Mr Smith but many of the elderly not only do not drive but are also not computer Savoy. I have fond memories of my grandfather looking for a new 8 track player and record player, I tried to get him to try a new stereo receiver with a CD player and or thumb drive. He would not even consider it. A computer would be useless to him. Most of his generation are gone but he was a news paper and nightly news man till his death at the age of 94. He stopped driving at 85 . Often we forget about the very young and the very old.
This story has been the bane of the existence of Appalachia for many moons. Them thar hills make it real hard for any education and knowledge to make its way in, and poverty and ignorance make it real hard for anyone to escape out.
and the internet, idiot!
