Does Manteca Bulletin Need A Changing Of The Guard?

With the current ousting of Paul Mahony Publisher of the Manteca Bulletin for accusations of improper sexual harassment of female employees, one can only imagine, is this the time to start cleaning house and get rid of the Editor of the Manteca Bulletin at the same time?

I agree, we need some new blood because this newspaper is the mouthpiece of the City Council which makes this newspaper be perceived as non-creditable. Last night on Fox40 News we saw Dennis Wyatt in action placing his hand in front of the camera and did not like the fact that some punk* reporter and his camera man were taping him asking some simple questions.  *I'm not saying the Fox40 reporter is a 'punk', this is only used as a metaphor as to how Dennis Wyatt treated this guy who was only doing his job and doing it very well.

Dennis Wyatt on the other hand has been very elusive and with his current writing of articles, many of them should be opinions and the opinions should be articles.  Sometimes he's 'Left' and sometimes he's 'Right'.  Very confusing and definetely not what you want in an editor that writes most of the paper and takes sides all the time.  He should be totally neutral in each case except for when we need to blast the legislator for stealing our local money.

I think it's time now for the owner of the MB to appoint a new editor and make the paper worth while again and become more conservative, it will earn more dollars than it does now and that's what it's all about.  Isn't it?
