Montecito to Get Second Newspaper

Shouldn't Jeremy Gordon be viewed in the same genre of publishers, a pariah of sorts, similar to the News Press owner Wendy McCaw. It seems as though Gordon's Santa Barbara publications' editorial staffer and self-absorbed whiner Cherie Rae is at least partly responsible for bringing such a regressive, zenophobic and idiotic, 'conservative' city council majority.

Did Jeramy Gordan pay back the money he owes to Montecito Bank if he expects new subscribers and advertisers there?

So is the real reason you dont like Wendy the fact she is a union busting cretin with questionable morality and the fact she stomped or journalistic ethics or is it the fact she doesn't present your political view? I'm guessing as you two wait breathlessly for Keith to come back on Current TV it has nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with politics which is why you are bashing the Sounds owner.

Speaking of small minded you two are as reactionary as the worst of the right wingers in the GOP... toodles

I have lived in Montecito for 35 years and I have MANY neighbors and friends that cannot wait for this to happen. The Montecito Journal is essentially the Rush Limbaugh Gazette. It certainly does NOT represent the views of the larger community.

Most people I know are sick and tired of Jim Buckley running off at the mouth about national politics. His mentor must be Bill O'Reilly because he has the same need to constantly correct people and make sure he gets the last word about whatever someone contributes. He has his Op Ed page and on it he can say whatever he wants but he can't help himself and has to comment on and add his slant to every letter sent in.

I was at a restaurant in Montecito the other night, and the Journal came up. It was agreed that the name of the paper should really be the Montecito Urinal.

I don't care where they come from or who they are but anybody that can produce another paper that might convey to the world that the Montecito Journal does NOT represent Montecito is okay with many of us. The constant spinning of every position and perspective so it matches the Roger Ailes/Fox News perspective is very tiring.

My suggestion to the Daily Sound - Keep it local. Stay away from national politics and keep it solely focused on the community. There are many advertisers that would love to leave the Urinal.

I agree with DennyC about the Urinal publication. But does tiny lil Moneycito really need its' own newspaper? Can't advertisers just leave the Urinal and do old fashioned direct mailings or other creative gimmicks.

Geez, Denny. I'd cancel your expensive subscription to the Journal. So what if Buckley is a blowhard. No different than the left-leaning Independent spouting its liberal views week after week with the "constant spinning of every position and perspective" that so bothers you when Buckley does it. And no surprise that Don doesn't quite grasp the whole idea. Don, I live in Carpinteria ... do we deserve our own paper or are we just too tiny and lil for "big city" liberals like you?

Is the Coastal View News not publishing anymore?

People throw away direct mail. the purpose of a community news outlet is to inform and at times be a forum. You don't get that with direct mail advertising nor are writers, photographers ect continually employed by such a waste of paper. Definitely Montecito deserves its own local publication that's not just the rantings of a mad man.
BTW, not everyone who lives in Cito is wealthy.

Well, I would never "subscribe" to the Montecito Urinal. It is free to readers....expensive to advertisers. It is the unfortunate local advertisers who currently have no alternative that will benefit the most. They will now have an alternative to supporting the rantings and rude behavior of Mr. Buckley and his Andrew Breitbart wannabe, Bob Hazard.

In many ways, this goes beyond left or right, liberal or conservative. Buckley's constant need to correct and set straight those that write into his paper is just downright offensive. Seriously, someone needs a shrink...

Montecito - I live there, I work there, my kids went to school there, I eat there, I recreate there, I entertain there, etc. I have contact with lots of long term residents and most of us are offended that the Montecito Journal appears to be the local paper. It is simply embarrassing!

So, while I agree that the Daily Sound certainly has its shortcomings, anything is better than what we have now.

Thank you
