I was surprised that they published the letter, but not surprised that they repeated the offense. "Tigers have stripes, leopards have spots; there are some things you can't change." -Granville F.

PBN certainly has the talent and time (they publish once a week) to do some serious investivative reporting on important issues affecting business in Hawaii. It seems that there are 87% of us who would like our side (yours, Peter, Pam & Daniel's) of the story also represented on the front page of PBN.

It is what it is, it's called "reality" with a capital R. Get your heads out of the sand and hunker down for tougher times ahead.

I guess I must accept it as a fact that this is what people want, and thus bad news sells. That being said, there is a difference between stating the news as it is (Walter Cronkite style) and spinning the news as worse than it is. As refreshing as it would be to see a story like the one Ron proposes, I think that will be the one about Hell freezing over. I don’t understand the media’s fixation with bad news.

I have decided not to renew my PBN subscription. I already pay for one newspaper full of bad news. I don't need another. Brilliant, Ron!

The publisher Larry Fuller really should think about who he is "impressing" with these headlines? As a loyal advertsier in PBN for years, I have a specific tough time with their negativity....and have to wonder if we as a company want to be part of their nonsense.... I was in Waikiki last night with loyal visitors to Hawaii as well as friends from Hawaii Kai. Great time with great entertainment and LOTS of people around us. It was a "happening place to be".
