    Terri Schlichenmeyer

    Have you heard about….? Of course you have. It’s been all over social media for months and if you didn’t see it there, someone in your family said something about it or a friend did and you still think it’s untrue. It’s hard to fight nonsense, you know — although admittedly, it’s fun to read

  • County Hall Corner: Ronald Reagan: President of Humor0

    Larry Stout

    April 1st is April Fool’s Day and kicks off National Humor Month. It is tempting to write about how foolish our elected officials are, but it would be impossible to do that in a Webb Weekly article. It would likely result in a book the size of War and Peace. Therefore, I decided to highlight

    Larry Stout

    For over a century, the New York Times has used the slogan, “All the news that’s fit to print.” This catchphrase was created by the owner, Adolph S. Ochs, in 1896 to distinguish his newspaper from others that published lurid and inaccurate stories. The intention was needed because, quite frankly, we depend on media sources
