Yes Ryan, and see also http://www.thespec.com/opinion/columns/article/887153--burak-the-spectator-confuses-news-with-sales-pitches
by Sean Burak in Fri., Feb.15 Spectator:
"But I believe The Spectator doesn’t like talking to us, that under their breath, they call us “the usual suspects,” that it believes ink spent on us is ink wasted on “activists.” We are treated as fringe characters because we are engaged, informed and passionate. In order to get the facts out, we had to pay The Spectator for an advertisement in the same issue that hosted the Mercantis on the front page for free."
I was thinking much like this when Spectator ran Letter(s) very recently [this week, e.g.] saying with no evidence at all that expressed casino concern was same old hash from years past by same people. First, the concerns of "years" past were and are real & important, and were expressed concerns by thoughtful people with solid observation &, yes, evidence. And the beauty of the last few years re stadium, casino, or aerotropolis AEGD is exactly that there are many people expressing solidly argued views who were not previously involved and/or weren't even in Hamilton yet--or were still younger folks and now are bravely expressing good ideas well. Raise The Hammer and Citizens At City Hall have been enormously helpful and useful in providing material for these discussions--and I have heard some solid argument by those involved in those efforts that sometimes it seems that other "media"--Spec, radio, TV--are letting the volunteer efforts do the hard work, by default. That's been my view.
