Did anyone else notice that bluegrassrivals.com was used as a source for a story in today's Floyd County Times?


I sure did.



Wow, the world of journalism has reached a new low, but what else can you expect from a local newspaper that many in the county refer to as, "The Floyd County Liar".



How does a newspaper, an established media outlet, use anonymous names posting their opinions as credible sources? I believe the FCT is the first newspaper in history to do this. Did the paper receive permission to quote posters in the paper? Isn't there laws against that? How credible is an anonymous name like, "barbiegirl4life" anyway?



Well nonetheless, I thought I would give the Floyd County Times something they could use as a quote - "The Floyd County Times is desperate to sell newspapers by degrading an institution of learning, whom, along with the local board of education, had already made steps at correcting certain situations so that this may never happen again before this story was released. The editor and staff writers should stop giving people/websites/schools/communtities a bad name just to sell newspapers. Try contacting actual people for quotes about front page news instead of slandering a website."



You do have my permission to quote me as saying, "You suck Floyd County Times, you just lost another reader. Let's see you run this post in Friday's edition."

JJ here is the post that was made by you. Feel free to recreate it. [/size]
