Tommy Melson says there is a network bias against Melson Ridge

Writer's concern is posted. No geographical bias is ever intended. CM posts many stories about all areas, including wonderful, colorul Melson Ridge, where the vast majority of the stories are about the churches, the beauty of the area, deaths, births, marriages, and triumphs and tragedies, just as we But readers can be the judge by scanning the CM stories found from links on Google.com. No slight to any region is ever intended, particularly one of my favorite spots on earth.
Click on headline for Mr. Melson's full letter, with its very admirable community pride. And, of course he's right that, as vast an area as Melson Ridge encompasses, the law enforcement news release was a bit extravagant including Bakerton in the Greater Melson Ridge area. Simpson Ridge and Inroad - maybe. But Bakerton is clean off in Cumberland County; Melson Ridge can only claim part of that County, a little more territory than it claims in Russell, we'd guess. Thanks, too, to Tommy Melson, for identifying CM as a 'Network.' for the first time. We like that, and the more we think about it, it's accurate. - EW

By Tommy Melson

Mr.Waggener, I just checked the list for graduates for the 1986 Adair County high school class and I was left off the list. (See 1986, now, please, Mr. Melson.)



My name is Tommy Melson and would like to see the correction but I think it is highly unlikely because of the bias of this news network toward Melson Ridge.

You only show the worse things about us. The reason I am saying is the last meth bust around here was on 704 in Bakerton but it was reported to be on Melson Ridge.

There are many great things about us including our two churches and I just wish we could be seen for the decent hard working people we are.

The meth bust information may have been the fault of the sherriff's department but it was printed on your online network.

We are a part of this county and we are proud of who we are.I will now get off my soap box and I thank you for listening.
