As for the comment above I don't think it has to do with the less fortunate at all I think they want more choices for their children and dont' want them blocked but I think the problem as we know is the funding and funding formula and the fact that you can't allow charters to grow so much that they siphon from others. until the state fixes it we are left to fight tooth and nail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982097314224201904.post-22608864920607703302015-05-13T14:26:45.115-04:002015-05-13T14:26:45.115-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982097314224201904.post-63589485505228930082015-05-13T09:44:10.852-04:002015-05-13T09:44:10.852-04:00HoLa is the new gravy train.

You came here to comment on Grafix Avenger to complain about your unhappiness with commenters on Horsey's MSV website? <br /><br />The commenters on MSV are pretty astute while your comment here is plainly dumb. The recent story wasn't complaining about the Hudson Distorter's story selection; it ripped it for being (intentionally) wrong as a celebration of Old Guard conspiracies put into print.<br /><br />That story also linked to the devastating story broken by GA on Jen Giattino's feature being hidden from Hoboken readers.<br /><br />If you want to complain, can you at least try to a bare minimum of coherence?

It transcends differences on editorial choices. Rather the Reporter showed itself to be a straight-up political tool. You may be tired of hearing about it. You certainly picked an odd time to announce it. Because I would characterize the missing Giattino article as the Reporter hitting bottom, and the time when brickbats are bound to be flying in their direction.<br /><br />Also, why are you complaining about it here?

No problem at all with this blog covering whatever it wants to and not other things. I think I'm just getting tired of all the comments on the Horse blog complaining that the Hoboken Reporter doesn't cover what they want it to or think it should. I realize that the Hoboken Reporter has a responsibility (ha-ha) to cover a full range of topics that it doesn't, but I don't think it should be focused on a specific agenda in the same way that the blogs might be. (and yes, I know that it seems to have its own not so veiled agenda but I do read it with the required grain of salt.
