One of the things 'SandBoxBlogs" did not set out to become was a media critic. Yes, it's true.
Unfortunately, there was such a huge problem with two of our local papers at the time it became impossible not to be critical. Think back to 2009, 2010 and the early part of 2011 at 'the way things used to be on the PI and Times'. The Times cleaned up very quickly and capped that with standing up to corporate and begging off having a publisher in-house. From that point forward, they've been the Times we all recognize under the ownership of Swift Communications. Much better read every morning than the direction they had been going down.
The PI is 1000% better with another 75% or so left to go. Consumer complaints are more about content, writers and power abuses than they are accusations of being a 'tabloid trash media'.
The balancing act for local commentators is to figure out what to lend energy to and what to ignore.
SandBox has just ignored all the gushing coverage on the virtues of Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colorado) and his latest attempt to recreate Hidden Gems under a new name. Any land grab bill is likely to fail in the end and we'll put our energy into the real politics of it all when those politics are called upon.
With that said, it is hard to watch the short memory span of local letter to the editor writers. All this gushing and heaping of praise onto Udall's 'sainted' head is pretty tough to ignore when the reality of Sen. Mark Udall's politics are such that he will pander to either side of the coin when it comes to environmnental issues.
Fortunately, Colorado conservatives have fairly long memories and that is not good news for either Udall or Bennet.
Here are some reminders that balance out these praise filled letters to editors lately. Wonder why these stories are pushed away to the back archives by the PI? Hmmmmm......

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News/Letter to the Editor " Aspen boycott"
Mark Thomas, Hood River, Oregon:
"Editor:
Presumably, ACRA’s job is to help the business community in Aspen thrive. But by paying dues to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is does just the opposite, because the U.S. Chamber actively works to prevent a fix on climate, which the city’s own research says threatens the economy. There’s another problem though; people don’t want to visit a town that’s unethical and hypocritical. I used to live in the valley and love Aspen, but I can and will plan my next ski vacation in Steamboat Springs, which is not a member of the U.S. Chamber and seems to be doing just fine. Would a boycott be good for Aspen’s businesses? Does Steamboat’s chamber know something Aspen doesn’t?..." (Read the original? Click title)

“Assuming the judge binds the case over for trial it must be held within 180 days of the defendant entering his plea.
“He has not yet been required to enter a plea but will probably be required to do so soon after the prelim is completed.”
According to court documents, on September 16, 1997, Bebb-Jones and wife Sabrina rowed about his flirting with guests staying at their Melrose Hotel in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Bebb-Jones is then alleged to have told investigators the couple went off to the nearby Dinosaur National Monument but had another argument and she fled.
She was reported missing by a hotel worker two days later.
By then Bebb-Jones had headed to Las Vegas with his three-year- old son.
Prosecutors claim he lived the high life in the party city, booking into various hotels, borrowing money at casinos and putting more than £3,500 on his credit card in a matter of days.
He is alleged to have told a friend he had rented a Ferrari and hired prostitutes as he wanted to “go out in style”.
The prosecution claim that at the end of his bender he booked himself another hotel, put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger but survived...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Town Hall/John Ransom "The Mental Illness Behind Anonymous"
The common man sat back during the 2000 election cycle and watched Al Gore and John Kerry begin the distortion of main stream media into a very one-sided liberal stream of political propaganda.
In the 2004 election cycle, conservative media began to fight back and soon got the hang of how the game works. As Joe Hyde said of the media in general during the 2012 Rick Perry campaign: "..it's an ego driven profession..".
The folks responded in 2000 by trying out (what was then a rather covert type of communication) the fairly new 'blogosphere' in order to get their voices heard. The result was that George W. Bush was elected and the debacle that was Florida was exposed to the world at large.
By the time the 2004 election cycle came around, major news outlets were monitoring the voices in that blogosphere. There was an air of excitement from lead anchors who seemed to relish calling out avatar names as if they were some kind of spies living in hidden lairs that conveniently had internet access. No one really stopped to think that just maybe those voices in the blogosphere might be the common man voter.
In 2008 it all became a free-for-all of voices clamoring for attention. The Tea Party was born and Ron Paul commandeered the radicals in cyber politics out of which he empowered a small army of powerful voices. The blogosphere became a legitimately recognized power that no politician can control.
In the 2012 presidential cycle the blogosphere has settled into the single most powerful media tool in the world. One that smart politicians recognize they have no hope of ever controlling. A true wild card that can now micro-blog as well.
How long will it take this time to get rid of the attempts by the establishments of both parties, ruling kings and presidents to try to discredit the voices of the people they serve by bullying them, censoring them and manipulating their credibility with disinformation? Another four years? Less?
Please do not flood the mailbox with ranges of hate mail or disinformation that 'SandBox' condones what the 'Anonymous'/LulzSec' group(s) have done with their time and effort. We do not condone illegal acts or the spreading of viral information that has been distorted.
One of the things we do support with any 'anonymous' commentary is the freedom to speak and to do so under the protection of privacy.
Since the 'takedown' of 'Anonymous/LulzSec' this past week, 'SandBoxBlogs' finds the mainstream media push to try to discredit those voices by labeling them as 'mentally unstable', 'terrorists', etc. etc. unconscionable. Go after ferreting out whether or not illegal acts were committed by anyone, such as true hacking, and administer justice. But if to get that done, you have to resort to outright lies through distortion of facts, that is not only unnecessary it is wrong.
A thank you goes out to John Ransom, somewhere out there on Town Hall, for showing the quoted voices of 'Anonymous' so that you can decide for yourself.

Dear Comrade 7,
Actually the specific examples (plural) that I included did include one example where someone was arrested on fraud charges- because he was unlucky enough to be incarcerated for murder. Local authorities got involved where the feds likely wouldn’t have. And like the typical progressive, you point to the exception and ignore the rule.
The rule is that $16.5 billion was paid out in fraudulent claims, with less than 5 percent of that money recovered. And under Democrats, unemployment fraud has jumped another 11 percent year-over-year. One would think perhaps someone in the federal government who has the responsibility to administer the program might actually do something about it.
But nope.
“We don’t think this is mostly about fraud—we think it’s a lack of clarity of understanding what eligibility is,” Jane Oates, Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training Administration at the Department of Labor, told the Times.
Tortured words and tortured reasoning for not enforcing the law just leads to more crime and encourages people to steal.
Dear Comrade Rob,
Why yes I do get paid to write this stuff. I’m guessing that you are wondering how to tax it. The Stamp Act has already been tried. But hey: Maybe Democrats can bring it back and just call it a fee? Three cheers for King Obama!
Pelosi doesn’t have to advocate for convicted murders to get unemployment. They already collect the benefit according to the example cited above. And why wouldn’t they? The “Clarity of Understanding” training that they’ll make these gang-bangers go through as punishment probably won’t be much of a deterrent to people who make a living breaking the law.
If Pelosi advocated policies that forced us all to live with our doors and windows wide open, I’m guessing crime would go up. And when it did, you wouldn’t just blame the criminals, but rather you’d blame the people who made our property and families unsafe to begin with ala Fancy Nancy...."

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Times/Chris King "Enough of the political pandering"
There were a number of factors that brought 'SandBox Nanny' to her final decision on whether to take up the idea regional avatars came up with of creating a hub for uncensored yet moderated commentary on local, regional, national and world news.
It has been a long trek trying to get someone (anyone) to ask the question of what the final deciding factor was. Who knows, maybe eventually someone will get around to asking instead of speculating. Imagine a world where direct-to-source information truly exists. Why, it is safe to speculate we would have a world with far fewer issues, eh?
One of the reasons for agreeing to the experiment of 'SandBoxBlogs' was to grow the ability to tie various patterns of what 'community knowledge' (talk, gossip, group debates, forums, etc. etc.) holds in information that is needed in the public eye into what the news media actually prints and projects to the public.
One of the more interesting results of that effort has been the sound of seldom raised in public voices.
As said many times before, local gossip mongers would be stunned at 'who' and 'what' is brought forward in 'anonymous' commentary. Proof that it is not the method of delivery but the information itself that is relevant. Imagine a world where we had authorities such as cops, prosecutors, lawmakers, judges, presidents and kings that listened to the information direct from source itself and then just simply did their own job and no one else's scope of work.
Just maybe, we might end up with systems of balance and justice instead of high-tech media lynchings, wars and politics that sway all things within the lives of the common folk.
One of the strongest statements that is also repeated continually in avatar commentary, claims that 'if I want to be publicly known, I will be. If I want to be a politician, I will become one.' Simplistically stated, what 'SandBox Nanny' hears these commentators 'just sayin' is that they are in charge of where their vote goes. That they are doing the electing or hiring of cops, prosecutors, lawmakers, judges, presidents and sometimes kings to do the job that office holds. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Today's local news patterns reveal a thread that crosses the ocean to the UK, bounces off the hallowed halls of the United States Senate and involve the politics of a president, a local prosecutor, a senator, one of the most powerful (and undeniably softly corrupt if you really get into the world of so-called non-profit organizations) lobbyist groups in the world and a number of issues such as women's rights and energy development.
To start off the posting of that pattern, 'SandBox Nanny' is going to toss up the guest opinion of Chris King. Up on the Aspen Times. Then follow that up with a thought provoking column by John Ransom, somewhere out there on Town Hall.
Happy Sunday, everybody. Make it a good week out there.
Chris King:
"When politicians ask us to “leave politics out” of any government activity, we must suspect that we are being hosed. For wherever legislation and tax money are involved, so is politics. It is already in. And it should be. Good government requires constant citizen input and oversight, which is, in effect, “politics.”
Thus in the recent Aspen Times guest opinion by two Democratic senators, the title, “Take politics out of women's health care,” promises a double hosing (Feb. 29). Being superb politicians, these twain do not disappoint.
The title itself misstates the issue, which they only pretend to address. It's not really “health care.” More specifically they aim to defend Obama's new mandate, which rewards political supporters at the expense of the Bill of Rights. Specifically, it requires all employers, including church groups, to cover health plans that include birth control and abortifacients, thus forbidding employers' free exercise of religion, the very first freedom specified in the First Amendment.
Such a power grab might once have bothered the American Left, but not today. After all, when you run the government, why care about a few dissenters? Benefits trump fundamental rights. So stuff their freedom of conscience. They're a minority anyway. What's the big deal? What constitution? Benefits, man! They should shut up and get in line...." (Read more? Click title)
