Your newspapers reporting about Dolton and Thornton Township has been incredible. You have consistently reported fairly about the whole dramatic political landscape in our communities. I love watching how people in the news media treat citizens in our communities. Your stellar fairness is commendable. You have been fair when we have struggled to be fair.
It's sad in the state of society we live in today that we need a comment policy, but it's good you have one, and better that you allow us to put our two cents in the conversation. 🤗
Thank you for doing a very tough job. Since I live in Arizona, I would not know of the integrity & honesty of the Lansing Journal without the unethical and deceptive behavior of the Tiffany/Dolton/Thornton scandals. I am sorry the people of these communities have had to endure the poor leadership and scandalous notoriety brought by this mayor/supervisor. Thank you for your efforts to demonstrate decency, honor and fair play in your reporting.
Thank you for these encouraging words. We really appreciate them. As you say, it's a tough job. But comments like yours remind us that we are not alone.
Have said, as a follower of your channel and reader of the Lansing Journal,I thank you for doing the fact checking that you do. Best wishes from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Uk section 127 communications act: 10 000s are arrested annually for comments. I should know. I was arrested for a viral joke. "Whats 4÷4" Somebody was offended and i was arrested and my brand new £1,600 phone siezed. 13 months ago (still siezed) no charges
In the mid to late 1990s, I worked as a message board moderator at America Online. It was the Wild West back then. Very few people understood the concept of moderation vs. censorship. Even the “regulars” would take offense when a post was removed that violated the policies of that particular message board. All this to say I don’t envy you the responsibility, but I appreciate that you’re looking out for our community. It’s not easy.
7:32 Sorry for laughing. The amount of despicable comments i get, just for having the audacity to create videos on Dolton. And theyre made by the public faces you all know. I've deleted many comments regarding you both.
You are certainly walking an incredibly fine line when it comes to public comments. I was horrified by the actions allowed at the last Dolton meeting. Public attacks should never be allowed. You do a very good job on keeping it clean without deleting the content. Thank you again for your efforts. You do a fantastic job!
Many people respect your UA-cam channel. Please do a in depth dive into the Thornton Township finances and what money they have left. Tiffany Henyard talks about she came in with a deficit and moved it up to a 9 million surplus. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE? Please look into this because, I believe there's a lot of taxpayer money missing and being misused.
Hi Lindsay, thanks for writing. Carole actually wrote an article a couple days ago to get at that question: thelansingjournal.com/2025/01/07/fact-check-thornton-township-did-not-face-deficit-in-2022-as-henyard-claims/ There is probably a lot more that needs to be uncovered (and we hope the FBI is making progress), but this is a start.
Lori Lightfoot's second report on Dolton is coming up in a few weeks this month, which might shed some light on what's going on. Yes, we absolutely LOVE the Lansing Journal and the work they do to publish non-biased information about the township.
Probably not, but thanks for raising the question. "Unlike censorship, which takes a black-or-white approach, moderation decisions often require a great deal of nuance: while some decisions are clear-cut, others necessitate laborious discussion, considering the implications of a post’s potential influence." (Source: www.activefence.com/blog/why-content-moderation-isnt-censorship/)
When creators don't allow comments, I always click on the Don't Recommend Channel button. Dolton and Thornton Township have become a hotbed of vile and hateful infighting. You are more than welcome to remove anything I say, but be careful.
I'm not sure I understand your question. The First Amendment to the Constitution refers to expectations we citizens have of our government: "CONGRESS (emphasis added) shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." I agree that Congress should not prevent people from exercising religion. I agree that Congress should not abridge freedom of speech, of the press, or of assembly.
@lansingjournal Thank you for responding. You are one hundred percent correct. My question came through the back door so to speak. Some people don't realize that being a private business that dosent have anything to do with government is not bound to the constitution. You have settled an argument this evening which I will not bore you with details. I will be subscribing to your channel and will delete my post in a few hours. Thanks again. Looking forward to more Dolton/Thorton township news.
The title of your article was saying Tiffany lied about the deficit. The comment was just agreeing with you, imo. “Says untruths”? Come on, ladies. If it walks like a duck…
@@laurareck4149, sometimes it feels like we are not doing UA-cam "right"! But we are happy with slow, steady, meaningful growth. Thank you for watching.
I've prayed that Tiffany repent because we are in the endtimes and judgement is already here. It's hard not to say the things I think about her. She throws up the 666 hand sign which signals that she follows the god of this world satan. To me it's obvious she made a deal with the devil. This is not tearing her down but showing what is really going on. She gets away with it because the god of this world put her in this office to cause chaos. Sometimes I feel sorry for her but she has chosen whom she will follow. I love your commentary on this subject.
@@gonenotforgotten6089, are you referring to Patti Leach, the woman the Patti Leach Youth Center is named after in Lansing? I never knew her personally, but she is well remembered in the community.
@ yes, she was my gym teacher and yeah the youth center named after her was a great tribute to her, none of that existed before her tbh, her and Mr K legends in the community
Progress your channel and career. Don't linger on comments....no one cares. Any censorship is wrong....enjoy the human experience while we are still here.
So refreshing. With the media so questionable these days, thank you for upholding Journalistic standards. Very appreciated.

Thank you so much for these very kind words. This is very encouraging to us.
I appreciate Melanie & Carole for their professional journalism, and all they do for the community.
You are so kind - thank you!

Wow! 2 level-headed professionals who make sense! I really appreciate the hard work and dedication by everyone at the Lansing Journal!
Thank you!

Thank you for viewing and reading and encouraging from so far away!
I, for one, never subscribe to ANY NEWS channel, which has NO comment area. Reading them is interesting 🤔

The UK is becoming more and more commie. At least here in the US we have a 1st amendment.
I’m a Big fan of the Lansing Journal 🤗you have done great work👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much! We appreciate your encouragement. :)
You all are doing a great job!
There was a time this was all common sense.
In the mid to late 1990s, I worked as a message board moderator at America Online. It was the Wild West back then. Very few people understood the concept of moderation vs. censorship.

Dankeschön for all you do beautiful ladies 😘😘
Absolutely 👍, thanks for informing.
Thank you for this, it's good to have some ground rules in place.
The Lansing Ladies Rock! Great Job.
Thanks Mike!

It's nice to see we the people stand UP 😊
Thank you for your channel!
Thank you for watching!
Love these ladies
I appreciate this video and wish UA-cam had a no profanity policy.😂
You are awesome
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you!
I think she meant Tiffany doesn't tell the truth
Helloooo and thankyou for what your doing ❤
Thank you for staying tuned. 😊
If it’s the truth what’s the problem when you fact check someone you should report if they are lying or telling the truth

Wouldnt this be a form as censorship?

Comments are important. How else would we learn others perspective of an article?
I said that McDonald’s guy you interviewed scared me and it was deleted
thank you for what you guys are doing!
greetings from Amsterdam
Thank you for saying hello from across the pond!
You are doing a great job❤
Hi ladies, I'm watching you from Scotland. I think your diplomacy comments teaching is hilarious.
One question.I believe its a fair one. Does the Journal and its policies practice in protecting the first amendment.?
I'm not sure I understand your question. The First Amendment to the Constitution refers to expectations we citizens have of our government: "CONGRESS (emphasis added) shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

We were trying to be respectful 😊
@@lansingjournal truth is respectful
Would you please come to Canada and run the CBC m it would be nice to have some integrity in the news up here .. :)
It's appropriate under the article for sure... didn't the article just say the same thing?
Only fair since she says it to trustee Carmen Carlile all the time
I’ve never left a comment on any platform ever. Never will. Pointless.😮
And I never reply to them
Well it’s definitely true ‼️
I really miss watching meetings (Dalton) that you don't cover.
Have you watched Regina Waldroup's documentary about Dolton? It's really well done: ua-cam.com/video/f0TZWwZSQUY/v-deo.htmlsi=nL4DIagBXxquY6Ds
@lansingjournal I have !!
Regina Waldroup is amazing.
I have been watching some of the utubers. You just have that professional touch !!!!
@@laurareck4149, sometimes it feels like we are not doing UA-cam "right"! But we are happy with slow, steady, meaningful growth. Thank you for watching.
I just love you all ❤
Thank you - we appreciate you!
A news channel that doesn't like freedom of speech 😂
❤
2nd thing, allowing links in the comments is a dangerous practice.
I've prayed that Tiffany repent because we are in the endtimes and judgement is already here. It's hard not to say the things I think about her. She throws up the 666 hand sign which signals that she follows the god of this world satan. To me it's obvious she made a deal with the devil.

What was the goal of this video??
Thanks!
True
Just disable your comments if youre going to censor people so much
Well if the shoe fits
tiffany put you guys on the map tbh....otherwise lansing is boring tbh and the whole township
We are looking forward to being boring again one day!
@ lansing is the last stand....only one besides homewood keeping it together but still no progression in 35 yrs sad
@ btw do you know Ms Leach?
@@gonenotforgotten6089, are you referring to Patti Leach, the woman the Patti Leach Youth Center is named after in Lansing? I never knew her personally, but she is well remembered in the community.

Stop being worried about free speech so much.Geezus
melanie reminds me of Ms Leach for some reason...
