"LOL @ mullet wrapper. Ive never heard of it called that." Chris...it's been the 'mullet wrapper since I blew into town over twenty years ago! And I concur on the media. I trust them about as far as I could throw Chris! ROFL!
fsuford Champion Author Tallahassee Posts:9,730 Points:1,890,880 Joined:Mar 2005	Message Posted: Dec 2, 2005 12:34:49 PM Ignore fsuford Report Abuse Well, I have read better papers, but I really enjoy reading the Democrat. I find lots of interesting stories, and of course I always check my sources no matter what I read or see. I like to get my information, like Chris, from 3 or 4 different sources then form my own opinion.

Ive never heard of it called that. I think 90% of the news media want us to feel bad about the world around us. But I try to look at the bright side of things, and I prefer to get my news from at least 3-4 sources before i decide my opinion. Mainly I read the mullet wrapper for the comics and editorial. but lately its been the comics only
n4dog All-Star Author Tallahassee Posts:521 Points:44,300 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Dec 1, 2005 10:04:36 PM Ignore n4dog Report Abuse The democrap is the worst paper ever. I would not even wrap a mullet in that paper because it might spoil the fish. I think Preston Scott is one of the best radio people. I listen to his show just about every morning.

I watch the entire news because of her!
rschmetzer Champion Author Tallahassee Posts:1,396 Points:1,237,205 Joined:Jul 2005	Message Posted: Dec 1, 2005 3:17:11 PM Ignore rschmetzer Report Abuse I can't remember the last time I watched local TV news... I read the Mullet Wrapper every day, listen to NPR news on the morning & evening drive times, and of course, The Daily Show. And PTI every day for my sports news.

But from what I've watched and seen, 27 is not a good source for the local news. they are pretty bad, IMHO...
fsuford Champion Author Tallahassee Posts:9,730 Points:1,890,880 Joined:Mar 2005	Message Posted: Dec 1, 2005 2:05:07 PM Ignore fsuford Report Abuse Chris, what good is the news when they are reporting information that is a day or two old? Might as well read the newspaper instead of watching TV news (which I agree is better and more in depth anyway, but the whole point of elecronic media is the immediacy and current information).

I like to print them out (large size) and go to it with a pencil. Even the Democrat's "hard" puzzle on Sunday only rates a "medium" difficulty from this web site when you enter it.

BTW, back to the topic, have you guys noticed that WTXL is reporting the wrong prices again? Tonight they said that the lowest price had slipped above $2 per gallon when there are 8 stations currently listed below $2. They also said the lowest price in town was the Flying J at $2.03 per gallon when not only is the Flying J not the cheapest place in town, but it has also had 2 price drops since $2.03!

Funny though you said "witch" - Keith apparently has an evil twin (at work we call him the evil Keith, or the anti-Keith). Watch out coffee drinkers!
