Posted by Media Bias Spy, a resident of the Atherton: West Atherton neighborhood, on Nov 16, 2011 at 4:30 pm I'm delighted that Ms Martinez has won her seat back. Apparently, the Mr. Boyce or The Almanac is not . . look at the amazing discrepancy in size and location of the "winner" v. "loser" photos in the above report. Something backwards here!
Editor's note: The photo size discrepancies were due to a technical problem.

Posted by member, a resident of the Menlo Park: The Willows neighborhood, on Nov 17, 2011 at 11:04 am The technical problem at the Alamance is that it is about as far away unbiased reporting as possible – and the level of reporting.
