‘I have a bone to pick with you!’

“I’m Daisy, official news hound for The Glenn County Observer. A lot of people clearly find The Observer interesting and informative. In fact, one recent story reached some 3,654 people. By way of comparison, the leading newspaper in Glenn County prints only 3,000 copies every issue, and they don’t actually distribute anything close to this number. But of our 3,654 readers, only three of them – yes, just three, less than one reader in a thousand – responded to a recent plea for donations. I don’t require much, but I can’t survive on peanuts. I need a little dog food, too. And some green beans to help me maintain my girlish figure. So, please, keep The Glenn County Observer going, and keep me adequately fed. Make a contribution today. Thank you!”
