      <![CDATA[John Branston needs no defending from me, urbanut, but you have an essential misunderstanding of the difference between an opinion column or blog that, in this case, is simply, as you put it, "personal observations and opinions," and a "news" article. John does both, but in this case, his BLOG, he is doing the former.

      <![CDATA[I like the part where urbanut tried to make it look like Branston wanted bicycle races on the cobblestone. My main problem with the article is Branston,s obvious attempts to recommend it become an adult entertainment district.

      <![CDATA[That does not justify random comments and opinions, especially when he is officially employed and writing as a "journalist" with a "newspaper" reporting on a news story. It’s funny considering how many times this publication has commented on the general state of the misinformed public in the city and nation.

      <![CDATA[In response to sailorjerry's confusion about whether this is an article or a column, I submit that it's neither....It's simply a hodge-podge of personal "observations" and opinions from John Branston, presumably offered to us under the assumption that we'll be enlightened by reading Branston's thoughts...Nothing new here. Branston has produced this style of "journalism" for years...Every now and then, he makes an observation that might be worth investigating.
