Not to be confused with Newport Restaurant Group.

I think that anyone assuming GoLocal's wording wasn't very deliberate and hoping to create that confusion is giving Josh Fenton far too much credit as a person.

GoLocal stories on here should have a warning flair..

It's pretty rare that they're even worth the click.

If I'm curious about the headline, I'd rather google it and find any other media outlet in the state. More often than not, any legit story will be covered by a legit outlet.

The ones that aren't covered by other outlets likely weren't worth your time. The lawsuit in this story is newsworthy, as are the charges. Filing requesting a delay in a court date? Not really worth it. That shit happens in all sorts of cases and this isn't a murder trial.

NRG probably told GoLocal to fuck off when they were solicited to advertise or something and now any remotely negative headline that can walk this line will be run.

Isn't NRG employee owned?

We go to NRG restaurants all the time. They seem well run and I've never had bad service or a bad meal in any of them! Great job! Keep up the good work.

We actively avoid chains because there are so many great establishments in New England. NRG doesn't qualify as even a local chain for me...each is a unique experience.

I do have one ask...would you please bring the Bag of Doughnuts North so we don't have to drive to Newport to get them at The Mooring?

Worked for both groups and briefly for 1 if them( hours not shifts) and even I was confused. This is why you trust certain sources unfortunately and not others and this isn't one of them
