5. That is truly insane. Why let the commoners have a say, when all |
|
those intelligent, high minded unbiased reporters and editors should be be allowed to write what ever they want. Why not write a letter to say, the Concord Monitor about the Mondanock Ledger's position, and embarrass them?

6. Actually I have had a number of disputes with |
|
this paper over their bizarre coverage and non coverage of local events etc and refusing to publish other letters I have written... The editor their absolutely hates me. I have tried to editorialize my issues with them in letters to other papers in the past and they have all said they will not publish letters slamming another paper....Its very frustrating...

Marietta Times deadline for political letters was Wed. 20th at 5 PM. They published letters in the weekend edition, so maybe they'll publish what came in before the deadline.
