I hate complainers.
I just got off the phone with yet another reader who wanted us to take down an article because it expressed an opinion they did not agree with. I'm sorry, but we are not Fox News or MSNBC, and we do not cater our news to a specific audience as many major news sources do. Heads up — your favorite cable news outlets provide "silos" of news and don't expose you to new or alternative ideas. We are not cable news! BubbleLife is unique; as a local publication, we foster communication with news from a variety of sources and community contributions.
BubbleLife is not pro or con on any issue. We are pro-neighborhood. Our mission is to provide a forum for people to see a range of news and hear a variety of opinions and voices for their community. Whether your opinion is mainstream or fringe, we feel you have the right to express yourself. And, we believe neighborhoods are stronger when everyone has a voice.
So, next time you see something you disagree with, don’t bother asking us to remove it from our publication. Instead, feel free to get on your keyboard and write a response that helps people understand your viewpoints.
