I also don't care about the Best of Bethesda stuff either. The only stuff I read is really what A. Kraut and the other guy brought over from Bethesda Now writes. Honestly, I would have preferred if they were still separate.<br /><br />I seriously doubt that they "wait" on Dyer to report something and copy/paste it. Sometimes Dyer reports something first, sometimes they do, and if Dyer does break something first they usually do give him credit. If it's something big, I mean everybody's going to write about it anyway, and just because some outlet releases first doesn't mean that everybody after is plagiarizing. <br /><br />I also like that they get direct quotes. That's something I would like to see more of on this blog. Dyer reports good stuff, but it would be nice to have *direct* quotes from business owners, developers, residents, and politicians to complement the nice pictures and detailed write-ups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-78586167692024203632016-05-18T12:38:30.027-07:002016-05-18T12:38:30.027-07:00@ 12:32 PM (2nd of 2) - From your verbiage, it sur...@ 12:32 PM (2nd of 2) - From your verbiage, it sure sounds like you're the one who's "rattled".

It's like the BB people sit in their office, wait for Dyer to break a story, then publish their own version of it. Only sometimes do they give him credit for it.<br /><br />Then there's that printed magazine. Good god! It's 90% pages of advertising, and 10% content. Most content is written by bored stay at home moms pretending they are "freelance journalists." I had a subscription for a year then never renewed, but I see their phonebook-sized ad tomes in my dentist and doctor's office.<br /><br />Ahh, and then their "Best of Bethesda" scam. Isn't it such a coincidence that the winners always seem to be their advertisers? Then, they make the categories so specific that an advertiser can take first in a category even if another advertiser offers something similar, like "Best Diner South of Woodmont Ave" and so on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-67249194243205334232016-05-18T10:36:11.500-07:002016-05-18T10:36:11.500-07:00"To me it's all fluff and gloss.

They neither offer praise or criticism, and they've reported on a lot of controversies in the county government, including tax increases, BRT, and the school bus site. None of those stories were exactly flattering to the county govt. I'm surprised Dyer hasn't jumped all over the tax bump.
