An unbiased media would change view

Perhaps if The Gazette were more concerned in publishing all of the news, the lady who wrote about the Republicans hating everyone would not be quite so misled.

A few years ago, I was shocked when Howard Dean, after being named the chairman of the Democratic Party, was quoted by CNN as saying “I hate Republicans and everything they stand for.” He set the precedent for hatred between the parties. The Republicans only reacted to fight for their own ideals and beliefs.

I also remind the writer that even though she did not like former President George W. Bush, the Democratically held Congress had an even lower performance rating than Bush.

I hope, for the sake of my country, that President Barack Obama succeeds. On the other hand, I will treat him with all the respect and criticism that the Democrats treated former President Bush.

What ever happened to truthful, unbiased reporting by the press?
