How could you honestly print the editorial "Kerry in 2004" (SN 10/27) in The State News?

Not only is it completely inappropriate to tell a 40,000-plus student body that the paper they read every day has an liberal agenda and that they can't count on fair and unbiased reporting, but you mean to tell me that every single person working for or employed by The State News is a Kerry supporter?

To say that The State News supports Kerry implies that everyone at The State News supports Kerry.

The bottom line is, that while almost everyone already knows that such media outlets as CNN and MSNBC are liberal and FOX News is more conservative, neither of these networks would ever make such a broad and sweeping statement as The State News has done to publicly throw all their support behind one candidate.

Sure, they may put a spin on certain issues that work to their favor, but they'd never just say, "Hey we took a poll at the office here and, uh, it seems that most everyone wants this guy in office so we are going to publicly support him."

To put it another way, you have just pissed all over your feet.
