A friend posted a link to a Ledger Dispatch article about a missing woman and asked everyone to spread the word. I couldn't even read the article without registering, which wouldn't be a problem... although it's a bit invasive to require a home address and phone number. I tried anyway, then received an email saying my registration would be reviewed before sending me a password. I gave up. I get requiring registration with real information before posting comments, but to READ an article? Guess what, jerks... the woman is dead. Not sure of the circumstances yet, but maybe you should let everyone read the important news, no? Maybe this sort of tragedy might be prevented in the future? read more

Every time I criticize the Ledger Dispatch on-line by posting comments about one of their stories, they prevent me from logging on to their site. This has happened to me four times. I find it hard to believe that a newspaper would respond to negative comments by preventing those comments from appearing on their web site. I guess First Amendment rights have little meaning for the morons that run that rag. As for the stories they publish, they lack detail and let the most obvious questions go unanswered (I call this the Ledger Dispatch's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy of news reporting). read more

I love newspapers, well until I moved to Amador County. The reporters don't seem to know the basics of journalistic writing: Who, what, when, where, why, and how. Don't get me started on Jack Mitchell's editorials. He is the worst, no integrity, no insight, just the ramblings of an alcoholic. Not worth the paper its printed on. read more

It is difficult to imagine a worse local paper. We DID have one a few years back, before Jack Mitchell made it his personal "voice." If one is only interested in local religious, school sports and slanted editorials ~ this is the paper for you. Grammar and spelling errors abound. It's always amusing to find an article that simply stops as if someone/something chomped off the ending. And, then we have the occasional repeated front page. The amount charged for subscription is more than the Sacramento Bee... go figure! read more

First off, I don't know how it erroneously posted my initials as J.R. previously however they are not, they are D.R. which have been corrected. Furthermore, I do not know who this J.R. is that previously worked at the Ledger but I think it is very sad that people on here would go to such lengths to assume it was this person who wrote my review. Especially since there are millions of people in this country with the initials J.R. (which I add, was an error, it's D.R.) In any case, YELP is supposed to be a place where OPINIONS matter, good or bad. It was my opinion to make the comments I did. Its sad that my opinion was removed because other "community" members requested it to be deleted when your comments are SEVERE personal attacks against this former employee that you ASSUME was the writer of the review,WHO WAS NOT. I feel sorry for whoever this J.R. is because it is not fair he was singled out to be ostracized just because you THINK its an irate ex- employee who wrote the review. Perhaps, just perhaps did anyone care to think that the original reviews seemed a little biased and I made my comment to reflect that.....In the future I will take my opinions, which is my legal right to express, elsewhere. read more
