Today's front-page photo box is an unabashed promotion of a commercial venture. It's particularly irritating given that the Courier largely ignored Terry Stone when he was showing free movies on the square with no commercial interest. But these out-of-towners looking for money from 'sponsors' get the red-carpet treatment. Typical.
Think business section, guys.
For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
Okay, this angers me.
ReplyDeleteI remember Terry Stone working his ass off to put free movies on the Courthouse Square. Hell, I made free popcorn and gave it away to folks at some shows.
The Courier gave it the cold shoulder. Maybe because Terry had a more adventurous choice in programming than movies already drilled into our children's heads via DVD?
Courier, its a business puff piece, not the centerpiece of the quickread section.
BTW: Watching Cocteau's black and white masterpiece "Beauty and the Beast" on the Courthouse Square on a warm summer night with folks walking their dogs and bar-hopping in the background is pure, pure Arizona magic.
