Our local newspaper's powers that be posted a memo to its staff dictating that they were not to write any more articles objecting to a downtown development project on the ground of historical preservation. (The reporters told me.) The paper's own building is neighbouring the site and they have development plans of their own. I sent a letter asking them to set out in print their own agenda, and what they figured they would gain by the neighbouring development. The editor replied to me stating that my question was nonsense and they had no agenda to discuss in print. Didn't publish the letter, but responded to me personally, which I found odd, because I have never had an editor respond to me personally no matter what the subject matter of my letter.
