I attempted to post a thread to discuss the third story listed above, however, FR does not permit Poughkeepsie Journal stories due to complaints from the paper.
FWIW, the title in the third story was shortened from the original when I was preparing to post that thread at FR . . .
Local Muslims condemn force, killings in Libya'Protesters broke our commandments,' Islamic Association members say
PJ's 'journalist' du jour, Nina Schutzman quoted two local Muslim men who claimed there are Islamic commandments which were broken . It appears Nina couldn't be bothered to ask for specifics about which commandments they were referring to, leaving her readers to accept such nonsense as fact. So much for journalistic integrity.
Here's the only comment posted online in response to that article, thus far:
"-*-Top CommenterThis is the kind of response from Muslims that we need to hear, that the Koran does not condone this and neither do they. As citizens residing here enjoying the freedoms and benefits the US offers (I assume they are citizens) thier loyalty is to the United States now, not the country of thier origin."
The Pok Journal's perpetuation of an intentionally ignorant narrative perpetuates-if-not-accelerates the alarming degree of danger this country and it's non-Muslim citizens are forced to endure here and abroad.

The story was picked up from the New York Times.
The online edition promotes the #2 headline in the print edition to the lead story:
Corporate cash paid DNC's arena fee
The story is by Tim Funk of the Observer, and notes Obama's evidently broken pledge not to use corporate funds for the actual convention here in Charlotte.
The Observer leans left, and is often prone to headlines like "Banks hike fees; women and minorities suffer most." On this particular morning, however, I have no complaints about the lead headlines. Not to worry; I'm sure I'll find something to raise my blood pressure on their editorial page.

If you notice eight of the eighteen headlines are about the First Wookie and nothing about the Middle East.
The "Star" used to be somewhat right wing but now they are almost worthless.

There’s a website out there that has indexed and scanned in something like 19 million pages of small town newspapers from upstate NY, where I grew up.
There are short articles about me and my brothers and sisters, I found an article about my dad having to miss school because he slipped on the ice and broke his arm when he was about ten ears old...

There there is some local news about a kid getting killed when he was hit by a car while he was skateboarding to school, a pedestrian was killed crossing Hesperia Road just after midnight, and a gang member is being tried for attempted murder.
Our local paper probably had the best coverage of the 9-11 events that I saw anywhere. I get the hard copy version, digitally, on-line. The headlines are from their hard-copy version. The website hasn't the rights to publish the same articles.
An earlier poster replied with what also surprised me this morning here in Charlotte: A story about how corporate interests DID pay for events and venues at the DNC, despite Obama and Democrat promises to the contrary, and big coverage of the attacks and protests at our embassies.
