    I have mixed emotions about the isthmus weekly. It purports to give…read moreUseful information but for many of us it comes off as cryptic. First of all it's hard to read because of small letters and faint low contrast type. Secondly much of it presumes substantial prior knowledge especially about the entertainers. It's rare when I know who and entertainer is that they're advancing. The ads should say something about their style genre And anything else that would help you determine if they're worth taking the trouble to get to. If you wouldn't presume so much prior knowledge intending only to serve insiders and University youth you could include older generations And benefit The advertiser and enrich the community. Also editorial should be presented as a point counterpoint they should never be a single point of view. If you don't have a credible counterview you should withhold the commentary until you do.

    I have picked up a copy of the Isthmus for years, and it is a good FREE weekly paper that tells you…read morewhat is going on in town in terms of music, movies, clubs, etc. The Isthmus though has lost it's best champion - Bill Lueders. He has decided to leave the paper, and that is a true shame. He carried the paper for all of these years, and frankly the rest of the writers while O.K., are so heavily biased it is not even funny. Biased towards the left - the FAR left. If you want equal coverage, fair coverage of Democrats AND Republicans - do not pick up this paper. The heavy bias in favor of liberals cannot be overstated. I find it odd that a couple of months after the protests at the Capitol when in response to letters about a article in the paper that I guess did not have enough liberal spin, Bill Lueders said the paper is NOT biased towards any group and covers all groups equally - he is gone. His attitude towards the protests apparently hurt him as well, as he was perceived as not being as gung-ho in favor of the protests as he could have been. It all smells to me like he was forced out. Just my opinion. However it took place, the paper has lost Bill Lueders. And that means one less reason to pick up this paper weekly, when you can get all of the info online as well for free.
