Journalism or Censorship in the little City of Lake Worth?

Would you consider these two events in Lake Worth to be newsworthy:

Number 1: A candidate forum that was attended by over 120 people; this occurred only 23 days prior to a municipal election here in Lake Worth.
Number 2: Notice of Mayor Pam Triolo's State of the City Address to the citizens of Lake Worth.

Now, would you consider the information below to be more important for a Lake Worth 'journalist/editor' to inform her readers of:
Only one person in the entire City of Lake Worth is capable of such nonsense, and that would be 'editor/journalist' Margaret Menge. 

Whatever Menge is doing, it's not journalism; more resembles censorship and keeping the citizens uninformed. Does the story she published above have more public value than one of the most well-attended candidate forums in recent history and Mayor Pam Triolo's State of the City Address? The answer, of course, is "No".

If you cannot attend the forum tonight and want to know more about what happened you have two choices: visit my blog or wait for The Lake Worth Herald which comes out on Thursday.

And again, thank you for visiting my blog.
