When Steve Hunley began the Fountain City Focus which later became the Knox Focus. He stated that the mission of the focus was to be a community newspaper that reported the news with a positive approach. Well, in today’s February 7, 2011 edition (located here) throw that out the window. With a story entitled “Political Analysis” on page A3 with a byline of Focus Staff, which is cowardly.

The article slams nearly every person on City Council through the appointment of Charles Thomas to replace former City Councilman Bob Becker. It slams nearly every candidate that sought the appointment. The believed reason for Hunley’s original mission was not be another Shopper News like Sandra Clark. Well, it is believed if you can’t beat them, join them. Sad, Sad, Sad.
