letter to observer--mar 30, 2010--Opposing Views

To The Editor:

It is one thing for a newspaper to present reasoned, opposing views on important, controversial topics of the day, but in doing so, quite another to subject readers to unmitigated ranting on a subject, such as those voiced by Rep. John Shadegg in his 400-word "critique" of the health care bill which just became law. Besides offending a reader's intelligence, it denotes pure editorial laziness simply to pull up and publish this sort of trash, only so as to feature an "opposing view." It is ironic and especially regrettable that this had to appear the very same day of Karen Garloch's superb page-one story about the new law's effect on Jim Lewis and the countless others like him. .

Sincerely,

Bernie Hargadon
