PATCH!!! GIVE READERS A CHOICE.

 The description on the River Dell Patch FB page says "your local news source for River Edge and Oradell, N.J. Ann Piccirillo is editor." There is NOTHING true about that statement. The news isn't local anymore. Nor is Ann the editor. How hard it is to update a FB header? And if you look at the posts, there's news from Illinois, California, South Jersey, almost anyplace except River Edge and Oradell. AOL chairman Todd Anderson has decimated The Patch to a point where it don't nothing right. It doesn't fill a regional or national news need and it's useless locally. But he won't change it. Here's suggestion: give readers (if there are any left) a chance to tell the Patch the areas where they want their news to come. from. Let us enter cities or zip codes and you send  us news only from there. Could be local. Could be from where we used to live or want to live or have family living. But this format you have now it terrible. Half the comments under any given story usually start with "Why am I seeing this in my town?" So c'mon Anderson, do something with this rag or fold it and take the loss.
