''HEADLINE NEWS THE LAZY REPORTER STRIKES AGAIN TO ALLUDE PORTAGE COUNTY RESIDENTS STARRING THE RECORD COURIER!! ''' Once again, Dave O'Brien tells another tall tale that discounts the goodness and strength in OUR home town. I wished the Record Courier could afford someone who puts fourth an effort to write a story that is balanced and accurate instead of deceiving the Portage County community and the many honorable, hardworking people who have built it on genuine love and integrity. I have not read a single article that he has taken the time to debate or present the opposing information which discounts the audience as moronic, naive citizens. I'm certain that he must not understand, per the Society of Professional Journalist, that a reporter is not to mislead or distort the truth but rather respect people enough to investigate and present all sides of a story. I am also certain this society does not come out of a crackerjack box like most the information written by this unsportsmanlike so called reporter. I am certain we have all experienced negative issues in life and they are not always as they appear to outsiders. A reporter like Mr. O'Brien is not an asset. Other reporters that work hard to document a truthful, balanced story loath a lazy fabricator that manipulates the truth to make a headline story. The community should be aware of this information so rather than rehash an old story, spend some time investigating the background of your subject. It's too bad that the Record Courier condones this coverage and cannot see that a Journalist like Andy Rooney or Tom Brokaw did not become famous for a trendy hot blog that is here today, gone tomorrow. Look at 20/20. It's balanced and reveals to the audience unknown truths, that's what makes it so interesting and reliable. I have taken the high road throughout the past year and a half, but messing with the family goes a little too far. Please Mr. O'Brien do us all a favor and put forth some effort into your reporting! Mr. O'Brien the following link is just for you:)ENJOY! --PATHETIC Reporter (talk) 23:01, 17 November 2012 (UTC)http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp
