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?
It was only three years ago that the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon were attacked claiming thousands of lives.
And then there were two. The State News is endorsing two candidates for the two open positions on the MSU Board of Trustees.
I just read Jon Gunnells' "Demand better from fast-food advertisers" (SN 10/26) and I can honestly say - brilliance.
We at The State News have received a lot of feedback regarding our Oct. 27 editorial endorsement of Democratic Sen.
I am not surprised The State News is using complete propaganda to endorse Sen. John Kerry. "Kerry will have an easier time gaining the international troop support needed to get Iraq up and running on a level the current 'coalition' cannot provide." Where is this coming from?
On Wednesday, The State News endorsed John Kerry for president ("Kerry in 2004" SN 10/27). Kudos for drafting an endorsement more vigorous than the tired, hesitating and reluctant endorsements nearly every other Kerry-supporting paper in the country has written.
This time around, when you go to the polls on Nov. 2, you're going to need to know your rights. Take into account where you are.
After the first debate, a commentator said what clearly emerged was Bush's opinion that the war in Iraq is essential to the war on terrorism and that Kerry's opinion is that it is not.
ASMSU's plan to allow undergraduate minors to MSU students could be a good option for those who hope to explore a wider range of studies.
Your endorsement of Mike Rogers for Congress is a good example of the irrational, spineless voting decisions that have put this country in the mess we find ourselves. While admitting you strongly disagree with some of his politics, you degrade one of his opponents, Bob Alexander, for legitimately questioning Rogers' record.
I am responding to Bryan Dahl's so-called editorial "Kerry too wealthy to champion America's middle, lower classes" (SN 10/26). Dahl spent so long trying to tear down John Kerry, he forgot to defend the "champion of the little guy," President Bush. The fact is, Bush has never seen a hard day's work in his life.
I am writing this letter in support of Joyce Draganchuk for Ingham County Circuit Court Judge. She is currently the chief assistant prosecutor here in Ingham County and has prosecuted over 100 jury trials in that court throughout her 16 years with that office.
We are writing regarding the article "City, study cite drinking as main cause for assaults" (SN 10/18). We have read over and over in this newspaper about how drinking is the cause for assault, especially sexual assault.
Here's The State News' worst-kept secret ever - we're formally endorsing Sen. John Kerry for President of the United States of America. With the wit, diplomatic skills and tact to lead our country through the next four years, Kerry represents our best choice for president. Before Kerry really got started, back when Howard Dean was a big contender, few people knew enough about him to invest their trust in him.
When Tom Brokaw steps down as the "NBC Nightly News" anchorman on Dec. 1, the United States will lose not only a prominent newsman - we'll lose a visual symbol of journalism our generation grew up with. Brokaw holds a seat which to some is second only to the chair behind the desk in the Oval Office.
She has the experience, practical skills and know-how to make important compromises on behalf of MSU in the Michigan House of Representatives and her social agenda is on par with ours.
Although President Bush's administration has repeatedly said the main goal of the war in Iraq is to disarm the war-torn nation, it was revealed Monday that there are 380 tons of devastating explosives missing in Iraq with whereabouts unknown. The news is startling, as the lack of information on the location of the weapons means we don't know if they have fallen into the wrong hands and used in past attacks already.
Have mercy on the late souls of Ray Kroc and Dave Thomas. Every time a McDonald's or Wendy's commercial clogs the airwaves, the two burger barons must be turning in their graves.
