It appears the publication quality has gone down the drain (at least for on-line postings, current news and responding to questions). I am sure we can always find, or create, a blog for Tehachapi related comments, but it is convenient for the TN to have this blog. However, the recalcitrance of the TN staff to respond to questions regarding policy on locking out comments on articles demonstrates an arrogance beyond belief. It is almost like they are above it all. As perveyers of first ammendment interaction, the editor and staff should demonstrate a conduct more becoming of their profession. To not post current news is an abdication of responsiblity. Shame on you Tehachapi News. Please explain or otherwise mitigate these views.</p> <br /> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/luvmy2girls/27115/#c_243164 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/luvmy2girls/27115/#c_243164 <p>Didn't the Tehachapi News change editors in the past year or so (perhaps my timing is off)?
