Dear WEHT, News 25


I want to thank you for your gripping, lead story about the tombstone for "Shit Head" the dog in Union County. I was really worried that Greg Goode's announcement that he was seeking Indiana's 8th district congressional seat would overshadow the important news about "Shit Head". I know that the 8th congressional district in Indiana is expected to be one of the most-watched, most important and closest races in the country, and so an announcement like Goode's has the potential to crowd out other stories. Luckily for us, though, you kept Goode's nonsense to a short 10 second clip buried mid-way through the broadcast. Your journalistic integrity and impeccable wisdom made sure "Shit Head" the dog was covered much more in depth with an extensive lead story, and a full fledged reporter on the scene. Kudos to you, News 25, and please keep up the good work.

It's not a surprise that 25 hardly covered the event... 25 and the Courier are media partners!

The Courier buried the announcement story at the bottom of the local section...and my 5 year old could have taken a better picture!!!!!!!

I'll bet $100 that Ellsworth's re-election announcement will be a front-page story in the Courier!

Mark my words.

Hopefully, the Courier will prove us wrong...
