"You seem to cover any negative story of Lewis Gale (i.e. the problems with Phycor) endlessly while ignoring or minimally reporting the positive aspects of this hospital (the ribbon cutting for the new emergency room...) On the other hand, you tend to ignore or minimally report the negative aspects of Carilion policy (the closing of the Jefferson Internal Medicine office with the forced retirement of some very good doctors) and repeatedly report on any favorable aspect of this corporation."
Another writer (Bob Smith, Floyd County) found fault with a story on plans by a group of people in Floyd County to consider printing their own money, or scrip.
"I deeply resent your recent portrayal of the people of Floyd County as a bunch of hippy weirdoes who want to make up their own currency system. We are, in the vast majority, conservative and hard-working people, and the group you decided to highlight in no way represent us."
