RIP RacinePost

http://news.racinepost.com/2010/11/patch-joins-online-local-local-news.html

The stories were few and far between lately. You can't pay the bills with a free site. So it's over.

I'm devastated. The Post was at its best when uncovering the truth in local politics. The Journal Times publisher is in bed with lying John, so this means that the iron curtain falls again on the Racine news scene. All we will read now is the official lies that Dickert's paid hustlers spew. This is a tragedy. So much hope for Racine's future, hope for the truth, dies with the RacinePost. I'll bet that squeals of delight are oinking from City Hall today.

If I were still drinking, I'd get drunk today. Lies win in Racine, again. Lies always win. I am so sick of it.

I left them a message.....

"Another devastated irregular, chiming in to say that although I was not a daily reader of Racine Post, I was a regular visitor. I appreciated the fact that the bad guys had to look over their shoulder to make sure you boys weren't on their tails. As orbs said, I'm sure the swine are oinking in delight. It is a shame that the Racine is too large to be covered by the new site."

Yes, orbs, very sad day in Racine.

In the future, we will not hear from people like Bill Bielefeldt, the city housing technician who blew the whistle on lying John's lead paint violations. They are silenced (by the police, if necessary) in Dickert's regime.

My hopes for Racine's future dropped by more than half with this news. As long as lying John can keep people ignorant, he can rule. Long live the liar!

I have occasionally gone off about what is going to replace traditional media as it falls apart keep us from falling into a golden age of corruption (or even a more golden age depending on if you think we are already there). The Racine Post was one of those voices who tried to plug the holes and this is not a good sign for the future...and not just in Racine. Similar things will happen around the country.

I'm going to miss them, they were one of the only one's I would link to because of they would dig deep and didn't let their behinds be kissed. Sad day in this town.

That's to bad, with the ass sratch'in between JT and Lie'in John, we'll never hear the truth. I should write a letter to JSOline and see if they will pick up the slack, they already have articles about Racine where the JT will not post things.

I've always liked the Racine Post for their light heartened posts above Racine. Now where am I going to get good coverage on happenings like the parades,the Party on the Pavement, and the other fun stuff about Racine?

That's a real shame. I was checking in there since we've moved. I noticed not too much has been updated.

Good Luck Dustin

well, Pete's calling it an "evolution," so maybe someone somehow can do something similar.
