The Bee's not to blame in reporting things you don't like

"The Sac Bee is in trouble and if you keep doing articles like this, you will be out of business," said Pat Kelly of Rancho Murieta in a phone conversation about the paper's two-day front page coverage of gay marriages on June 17 and 18.

She said she and her neighbors were disgusted. "We don't see it as something we want to be reading. We don't like to see it," she said.

Flo Harelson, a subscriber for 30 years, said she was on the verge of quitting the paper. "Is there nothing more important than homosexuals getting married?" she asked in her phone message. "We don't need it shoved down our throats."
