A New Direction for Hermann Hearsay

Published by Clark Kant, Editor In Chief

It was brought to my attention today that certain people in the local community have taken a fair measure of offense to a few of the articles we have posted during the past couple months. While our articles regarding local political issues and breaking local news have been intended as humorous spoofs and nothing more, it is very clear that some hyper-sensitive public officials have not seen or appreciated the humor which we intended.

With respect and deferrence to the office of these public officials and with respect and deferrence to the local community at large, "Hermann Hearsay" has voluntarily deleted the postings which others have felt were most offensive. In fact, "Hermann Hearsay" has gone a step further and we have deleted all postings, even those which were intended as spoofs on national political figures and national public policy.

"Hermann Hearsay" will be taking a different editorial direction in the future. We will continue to speak out on local, state and national issues without employing cutting humor and cynicism in our writing style. No content, however, will be avoided. No content will dropped. We will however modify our writing style, and I will personally exercise more editorial control over content.
