I couldn't help but notice in the latest issue of the Dispatch News where they're referring to something as a commentary which really reads more like a regular story. In the article labeled [New Town Hall/Grinder Pumps At Town Meeting] by Selectman Warren Shaw, it gives no recommendations, one way or the other, on how people should consider voting on these two items. You'd think the guy who wrote this story was so politically correct as if not to offend anybody or maybe he's looking for some votes in the next election. Either way you look at it, Mr. Shaw would probably make a good beat reporter but should lose the heading of [Commentary] unless he's willing to take a stand on something.
