The 4th Edition of Margaret Menge's newspaper is out and what a mess!

Above the banner on Menge's newspaper is the line: Lake Worth's Best Local Newspaper. Ms. Menge claims this after only 4 issues. Four.

If you don't know, this is Ms. Menge's second attempt at publishing "the news" in Lake Worth. Read about her first try here in 2012.

The Lake Worth Herald, of course, is the City of Lake Worth's "Oldest Established Business", in their 103rd year and on issue number 6 this year publishing a newspaper in our City. Outlandish claims are one of Ms. Menge's journalistic talents, and if you've been reading my blog about Ms. Menge, you are aware of her issues when it comes to facts and the truth.

What better barometer of Ms. Menge's "Best Local Newspaper" than advertisers? Here is the number of ads in Menge's newspaper by issue:
January 16, issue 1: 8
January 23, issue 2: 8
January 30, issue 3: 7
February 6, issue 4: 4

The number of ads in The Lake Worth Herald this week: 38

And it gets curiouser and curiouser at Ms. Menge's newspaper: the Classifieds. In each of the categories, Jobs!, For Sale!, Sale/Rent Houses, Apartments, Community, and Dating (???) the same phone number appears in each ad: (561) 586-6643.

Here is the ad Ms. Menge published in her paper in the "Dating" section:
Dating: Call (561) 586-6643 to submit your classified ad for DATING and get results!
Ms. Menge doesn't clarify what she means by "get results!" But if you're living a life of loneliness I wouldn't recommend advertising in Menge's paper. You'd have a better chance for a love connection at The Lake Worth Herald.
