For those of you who bang on about the negativity of the echo.

The editor's job is to sell papers and to get as many hits on it's website as possible.
To do this the editor has to be ruthless and will probably have to forego his popularity to achieve his goal.
He will probably have to tread on a few toes and make decisions that will not please everyone.
Some of you do not like this, but when Dear Leader acts in this manner, everything is good eh?

Good point.

Now visit all the other local newspapers who also have to sell newspapers and achieve hits and find one that is negative about it's local team. Funnily enough they sell theirs by being uber positive about their teams.

But seed, before the echo were banned for revealing the training grounds plans.
they had a good relationship.
He did a u-turn with the nationals regarding the match photos, why on earth wouldn't he want the local paper onside.
Most of the sfc stories come from other sources, but the DE still get blamed for publishing them.
If they are allowed back in I'm sure the situation will change.

PS... All of the negative stories in the echo are actual events and some fans can bury their heads in the sand and blame the echo, but if there is a story out there, expect the paper to report it, good or bad."
