I'm extremely upset that you allow people like Ann Adams to spew her hatred for the political party I believe in. You print her lengthy anti-hate Bush letters but won't publish rebuttals. I pay for my paper with you two years in advance and don't feel I get fair coverage. The post office, Safeway and other business ask why I didn't rebut Ms. Adams and speak for the silent majority. I stated you would have to ask Mr. Larsen. Your coverage for Democrats were 7 to 1. I read your cranberry juice and other not important stories and take them with a grain of salt. This is what I should expect from a Canadian owned newspaper. I used to have to defend Indian casinos with you paper even though you stated you only report island news. Bull. I believe of freedom of the press, as you should respect free speech. Sorry I forgot Canadians own this paper.
