My Short Letter To The Right Wing Downeast Coastal Press

[RBInMaine]

Is anyone familiar with the Downeast Coastal Press right wing rag paper out of Cutler? Well, below is the letter I have just written to their owners/editors. Enjoy.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hastings,

As a property owner in Washington County with extensive family roots in the area, I have read your publication over the years from time to time. While I enjoy your news pieces and certain other features, I must ask you if you are on the payroll of the Republican National Committee. Your editorial pages would seem to indicate this. I think one could find greater political balance on the Rush Limbaugh program. I know you are hardcore Republicans, and I know you probably can’t stand that an African American Democrat was elected President, but would it be possible to include maybe just one lonely editorial piece that represents the other side rather than your incessant three to four anti-Obama/anti-Democratic Party pieces in every single issue with nothing at all representing the other viewpoint? At least Fox News pretends to be “fair and balanced.” Maybe you could too, just a little.
