Soft content? Some of it is downright insulting, IMHO! They are even "caustic", if they consider you, the "enemy"! I've seen TCN go after some individuals, like a vendetta! I have to agree with the ad content. I remember when the Coaster was free, then was a quarter and I forget what it costs now.
I find the Coaster to be an "alternative" newspaper to the Press and the TCN, which when it began was REALLY good, especially during political campaigns, to being a "gotcha" critic and sometime feisty, like I said to its' perceived enemies. If they don't like you, they go after you with a vengeance! Not the 1st alternative that used expletives either! Over all, they've "stuck" it to City Hall and the so-called "developers", who have done this City in with their "carrot" antics and the City has swallowed their lies! TCN tells it like it is! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, marioa...@... wrote: > > In a message dated 12/23/2008 3:40:53 P.M.
