I assume that the question doesn’t mean only the Times as the provider. Quality being in the eye of the beholder, there would have to be perceived value by the customer in exchange for the cost. I have to agree with PR above. Traditional quality investigative reporting ala a Carol Pella type presentation, might be more in line.

Or politicians they don’t happen to like…witness the hatchet job they did on school board candidate Denise Manus a week or so ago.

Unfortunately this would not work for the ETN. They do provide very little, if any, worthwhile news. Just worthless drivel that supports the lame politicians of Erie County.
