MRN TOP 10: Letters and opinions? Oh, we have plenty of those
Letters to the editor and opinion pieces allow us to have give and take with our readers without getting all gross in the cesspool of social media comments and responding to people named “Catturd.” Did I say that out loud? My bad.
Here are the Top 10 letters and opinion pieces as determined by MRN Analytics.
1. Letter to the Editor: Behavior of QND volleyball parents after loss to Macomb deeply disturbing – As Nick Bakay said, “The numbers never lie.”
2. DAILY DIRT: Carrie Underwood’s singing of the Sunday Night Football theme is well worth her time (and yours). Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift … who ya got?
3. Rapp: Remembering Bob Lansing, a no-nonsense lifelong friend who didn’t mince words. Very touching tribute to a man who lived a full life.
4. DAILY DIRT: It pays to be host of ‘Jeopardy!’ – I guess people still love ‘Jeopardy!’ following the passing of Alex Trebek.
5. Letter to the Editor: (Former) WGEM reporter didn’t misspeak when talking about downstate Illinois – Censorship, anyone?
6. Letter to the Editor: Hiring Maples smart move for WGEM, but KHQA can’t overcome rotating anchor thing. Always great to get letters from Les Sachs. Chris Duerr, Rich Cain and Tegan Orpet remain as familiar faces at the local CBS/ABC affiliate.
7. OPINION: Going one for three in murder cases this summer not a good average for Adams County State’s Attorney’s office — Jack Blanke is in jail for equine love. Natasha McBride is not. She’s not even on parole anymore.
8. Letter to the Editor: I believe I’ve been thrown under bus by someone who was never there – Dick Wentura is a Quincy treasure.
9. Letter to the Editor: Becky Bliefnick family prays for trial to ‘open the door to healing’ – The family submitted this letter before Tim Bliefnick was found guilty of Becky’s murder.
10. OPINION: Murder victims have names, so stop hiding them – It’s better to err on the side of transparency.
