Joe Holley gets Pulitzer after leaving San Diego
Even if a shared late-in-life Pulitzer is involved, some trips down memory lane are not worth taking, especially when they highlight/glorify/graphically describe pre-MeToo sexual harassment of a local woman writer by a jerk who skated off to Texas.monaghan

Joe Holley gets Pulitzer after leaving San Diego
Until the way we vote in this country is fixed (no pun intended) I don't know how any logically thinking voter can trust the outcome. Here we go again, just look at the Pennsylvania senate primary. Election day came and went and no winner, and thousands of mail ballots yet to be counted. Largely, because ...rplm

Toni Atkins vacuums up $50K from apartment owners
Yes, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and cashes checks like a duck.......it's a BRIBE! Toni Atkins has probably never seen a contributor's check that she didn't dash to the bank on her lunch hour to cash it quick. Vote NO for her to become Lt. Gov.David Batterson

Netflix down, Union-Tribune up?
The old LA Times printing plant could still turn into studio space, regardless of Netflix's crash. Content is king, and it's not slowing down. With the recent sale of Warner Media (by AT&T) to Discovery, that greatly expanded media giant will probably need more studios.David Batterson

Stevie Salas was destined for the MC5
Stevie Salas has always been a precise and versatile guitarist, but he's rarely pounded out an MC5-like sound. The best example I can cite of Salas that would serve to preview his MC5 tenure would be YouTube videos of the 2019 David Bowie Alumni Tour, where Salas played alongside Bowie's longtime keyboardist Mike Garson and ...Jay Allen Sanford

Why is the San Diego Union Tribune smearing East County?
I’m curious to know why a town-hall was called in Lakeside for out-of-towners? If East County (lakeside specifically) Is riddled with racism and white supremacy, why did the substation sheriff think that rolling out the red carpet for folks that don’t live here a good idea? I suspect something different! I think it’s obvious that ...jennimarie79

Why is the San Diego Union Tribune smearing East County?
East San Diego County's rep for intolerance. is well earned. It's been that way for a very long time. The truth hurts. It doesn't have to show in hate crimes. It's the mindset of some of the residents that earned the reputation.Socks3742

Mars highrise opens Normal Heights to SDSU students
This article is so poorly researched and biased, that it appears the 'journalist' is in the back pocket of the developer.

Spielberg's West Side Story makes so many errors
I am waiting for it to come to Amazon Prime Video. ;-) I did have something to add; that's why I wrote it. The point is that many consider the new version a masterpiece.

Spielberg's West Side Story makes so many errors
I haven't seen the new version yet. But I think your opinion is misguided. Screenwriter Tony Kushner (not Spielberg) is responsible for the storytelling. Yes, Spielberg hired Kushner, but it seems he had full faith in Kusher's new version of events and characters. There is NO rule that a remake must stay the same. Ben-Hur ...David Batterson
