I have read the State Journal Register for a number of years and had a few opinions printed. I understand that opinions are just that-opinions but many are rooted in personal politics and biases with a shortage of facts. There are two syndicated columnist that appear regularly whose entries are treated with more regard than they deserve as their basis serve no one than the author while denigrating the American public and the newspaper. I am purposely omitting the names as I do not want to give any more coverage to these individuals than the currently receive. I have always thought journalists were supposed to offer truth first regardless of their personal politics but apparently this is not modern norm. I am considering ending my subscription as the SJ-R seems to support this unilateral method of news gathering and presentation. The print media while certainly suffering in this electronic age still has the responsibility to present the facts in as neutral a manner possible, the bias should be the personal bailiwick of the reader, not the publisher or editor.
