Mike, if you don't want to read news about other communities then don't. Look at the address bar at the top when you click in an article and skip those that weren't written via Martinez Patch. Simple solution and it takes less energy than posting negative thoughts.
And while I am here... would it be too much to ask for people to do a cursory proof read for typos? It does reflect on * your credibility* when there is bad grammar and spelling.
