Bonnie and Peter hogging headlines!

Peter LaVallee is once again in the spot light in the The Eureka Reporter - Home. Are they paranoid about fair unbiased reporting? Everyone says the Reporter in Arkley's vehicle. Bonnie Neely and Peter were on the cover just a few days ago? And what about this front page fluff piece by the Bully Pulpiteer James Faulk Times-Standard Online - 'The girls' add joy to Neely's busy day. Then a later story in the health section covering Peter's health issues? What gives. The Time Standard is showing biased for the left slate that is for sure. But it seems the Reporter is going overboard to placate the left as far as I see it. Aren't both papers supposed to give fair and balanced reporting?

No doubt, the T/S is going out of their way to campaign for Bonnie and Peter. Do you think they'll give the same amount of press (let alone front page press) to the chanllengers? Not! Yet they will bitch and snivel about the E/R. That Faulk is such an outstanding reporter! NOT !!!!

To be sure, a spread as large and 'flattering' will be given to the opposing candidates by the TS. But we shall see if they will do as well in the photo dept.

Peter cannot be helped by the press as he is his own worst enemy now.

Most of this just depends on how good your press secretary and/or campaign manager are.

You must be kidding! Do you think press secretaries and campaign managers hold the pen and the camera at these interviews? Editorial staff chooses the photos for these stories not campaign managers.

If the Times Standard does some kind of hatchet job on Nancy Flemming and Virgina Bass it will backfire! Stay tuned.

Yes, as far as the photography use today as an example-the front page of the Times Standard vs the front page of Eureka Reporter. Photos of Arcata City Council candidates in TS: Animated, showing personality. Photos of same Arcata City Council candidates shown as simple portraits and lacking the animation/personality.

Case in point: Eureka Reporter is more balanced less biased. Allows readers to draw own conclusions after readiing the article or doing other research.

I never miss the TS OR the Eureka Reporter as I wouldn't want to miss these subtle and deadly nuances.

The campaign manager does have something to do with this subject. Have your candidate accessable and ready for a photo op and always know where the press is or even create the press itself. Less than a month to go!

But Richard, having candidate ready etc etc does not ensure a favorable photo is printed or a balanced article written.

9:22-That is a good point. But the candidate has to be ready and accessable, right? And not caught looking, well unprofessional.

No , they intentionally put ,Jerry Droz on the front page behind Bass - Jackson and LieVallee .You can't even see his face . They don't want him to win because , Lippman , Bass and LieVallee are all behind the R.C.A.A. bringing them in millions from the government to house ex - felons and druggies . Jerry Droz wants the people to decide on whether or not we should have them here .They want to dominate Eureka and do not people to choose .

Bonnie works full time a a Humboldt County Supervisor. Never seen a needle on her. Never heard her say needle. Why are you "Needling" her on this subject?

Do a little investigating ... Go to ; rcaa of Humboldt County Bonnie Neely and there you will find her , LieVallee ( who says his job is incumbant when he works full time for the RCAA - what a liar ! )and the other council members . The Times - Standard are trying to hide , Jerry Droz because he is not part of this governmental agency bringing in millions into , Eureka to benefit themselves and not our community.

Jerry: Still that is pretty strong statment on Bonnie's involvement. I would not hold her responsible. By the way, you are going to take votes away from Virginia, not Peter. So you are in reality, helping Peter. He will probably send a thank you in the form of another halfway house next to one of your properties!

On , The League of women Voters site , Jill Geist endorses Bass and is a paid employee of the r.c.a.a. funded mostly by the us government to dump off more felons into , Eureka in all the shelters they bring in . Bass should step down and endorse , Jerry Droz . She has been a failure for our City and is basing her campaign on the number of signs she has and how many kids she has . She's a loser . Don't be fooled by her tactics . Droz - knows!

The name "Needle Neely" came from Bonnie and Berg's idea of giving free needles to criminals with our tax money . I don't like or appreciate "Needle Neely's" idea of taking my money and giving it to junkies so these poor bastards won't get sick .

News Flash !!!!
Jerry Droz has moved out of Humboldt but , is still maintaining his properties up here in , Eureka . Heard he's still got at least four homes left but , having a hard time selling them in todays market. He recently has gone onto being a professional actor , though i don't know what he's doing tiday . I wish him the best . Sorry to see him go .... The petch house guy i heard ( Greg debacker ) has commited himself for evaluation and has got severe mental problems . Sounds like he's just jealous of , Droz . DeBacker is a nut , that's for sure

I was just reading your blog and i had to comment about Mr. DeBacker of the Petch house and i couldn't agree with you more .Mr. DeBacker is jealous and has had himself commited to a mental institution . I always knew that guy was a lunatic . I wish him a speedy recovery because he sure needs it for attacking Mr. Droz who sure made our City a safer place for everyone to work and to live .Thanks Mr. Droz !!!!!

De BACKER rimes with.....
Pee Ack Turd for those who cannot remember this LUATIC's name . He's now calling himself " Petch " which is not even his name . It is the name of the original owner who built Greg PeeAckTurd's house in the late 1880's . This guy is a real LUNATIC and we people of Northern California wishes he leave . The sooner the better .
