We would have taken anything that primate might have written over that drivel Kulutz writes. He mentioned he attended U of Ottawa. What a blight on the old school. Wish he wouldnt associate his name with an otherwise great school, or maybe go back and take some sciences instead of those lame journalism courses where the diploma comes on rolls like paper towels. It just shows too clearly.Leave the writing on the level of a ten year old to a real ten year old and get a real job.S.

One with the indepth hard hitting column with a byline photo of a chimp on a chair? Now how is a publication like that not going to fall apart after a few years(?) of.... well, nevermind. A free paper pandering to its bill paying advertising clients? Now where have we heard that song before?Andre A.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-53244794777487357242015-12-19T13:33:14.810-05:002015-12-19T13:33:14.810-05:00Unfortunately, you are so right re: Bullet News. E...Unfortunately, you are so right re: <i>Bullet</i> News. Even its backer, Bob Gale, seems to have forgotten why he was elected to regional council. I thought that the attitude he brought in his fight to expose the Niagara Parks Commission would carry over to his on-line newspaper. John Robbins knows where the bodies are buried and he had possession of the transcripts from the conflict of interest suit against The Four. In those depositions, it becomes patently clear that it was a plot to unseat the four duly-elected councillors. The complaint regarding fired town solicitor, Heather Salter was just a ginned-up excuse to go after the four. Certain people lied on the depositions. Lied their asses off. Tim Whitfield was the "straw man" as per Doug Martin's own admission. Current members of council lied or were financial backers of the harassment of The Four.<br /><br />And the <i>Bullet</i> remained silent through it all. As to the cub reporter, turned editor: it pays to be an off-spring of one of the old guard. He was a fortunate son to land such a job at his home town newspaper with minimal experience and talent. <br /><br />Someone said it the other day and I agree: this town needs a complete overhaul of its power structure - new blood, people who were raised and educated outside this town. People who have achieved their positions through their own hard work and sacrifice - not through "connections" and birth. People who care about the future of this community, not their own selfish goals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495038420778835026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-71053874360386789732015-12-19T11:46:58.869-05:002015-12-19T11:46:58.869-05:00I had high hopes for the Bullet News when they fir...I had high hopes for the Bullet News when they first published but was rapidly disappointed when a former Times Editor and major cheerleader for all that is wrong locally was hired. He toned his rhetoric down likely because he had to and then some the chief ol boys began advertising there. <br /><br /> Game Set Match, the ol boys had perverted another way of getting the truth out. The LAST THING some of these soft criminals that run things around here want. Too bad as the Bullet Editor has tried on occasion to wake the populace up to what really goes on around here and taken major crap for it from a duped and dumbed down electorate that votes against their own best interests due to ignorance and deliberate misinformation(read lies). <br /><br />It`s up to The Post now and James Culic to expose this behavior that costs us so much so a few can profit. The Times will never do it as the TOFE is the major advertiser and those with the silver spoon in their mouths at town hall will freak if the truth comes out. The rest of us can just get by with plastic cutlery or none at all.CorruptionFighternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-15060440853025882342015-12-18T15:26:58.374-05:002015-12-18T15:26:58.374-05:00I wasn't aware that Bullet News was closing do...I wasn't aware that Bullet News was closing down. I was very very disappointed that they didn't print the court transcripts of the Conflict of Interest charges against the four. <br />Sworn testimony would have enlightened the town.<br />The voters would have read the truth of the despicable plot and voted differently, I am sure.a voternoreply@blogger.com
