Nothing But Love

With all due respect, your “raking” over of the Strib [“Go Down Moses,” February] doesn’t resonate with me, a Strib subscriber. Au contraire, I’m of the opinion that the Strib is actually turning out a much-improved product since the takeover. I have no other conflict of interest in coming to the aid of the Strib. Also, we in the Twin Cities do not have a lack of other significant news sources, especially with the availability of the Internet and other media resources. I think it’s a bunch of bunk that media law apparently still considers concentration of newsprint sources as a competitive factor! It’s ludicrous!
By the way, I believe that The Rake is a superior journalistic publication. I also read City Pages and sometimes local immigrant/foreign-oriented publications (e.g., Chinese, Vietnamese, Hmong, Latino, for a contrasting viewpoint). It’s very interesting how our primarily Scandinavian culture has become transformed by other cultures, leading to cultural diversity.
