Just facts and truth

Contributions come in many forms. The contribution the reporters have for the readers are the reports they investigate and objectively write. It is not the obligation of the reporters to paint a pretty picture or place rose-colored glasses on the reader. Fact has always been the bedfellow of reporters. We should not encumber them to contribute anything less. We, as overseas readers, rely on their objective reporting most especially since they are witness to the “local” news and happenings. We rely on them so that we may know the truth…so that we may know the facts. Regardless of whether it seems like they are “hurling” anything at the “bigwigs and politicians”, facts are facts. Good things and bad things happen…but it’s the bad things that usually smell more - and therefore are noticed. In fairness, we also often read some positive news from our city and our province. When it comes to the Forum, posters have their own opinion and we are encouraged to write as long as we are within the Forum rules. So I say to the SUNDAY PUNCH - KEEP GOING AND GOING AND GOING….
