Thank you for the invitation to “toss in my two
cents.” I literally grew up with your newspaper in my home. My late
father, Louis A. “Sam” Bibler, subscribed to HCN beginning in the
1970s, and was one of your most enthusiastic readers.
I
lament the changes in your paper since that time, and especially in
the past few years. Not too long ago, HCN was a thick publication
that delved thoroughly into all angles of the very complex issues
that face the West. My husband and I trusted HCN to educate us on
these details. During the past couple of years, almost every issue
we’ve received has elicited a sigh from one or both of us
about the fact that the articles tend to be too brief and
one-sided. We don’t want sensationalism and sound-bites; we
want well-researched, objectively presented information.
