LETTER: Liberal voice lacking in paper

To the editor:

This is in response to Friday’s letter about the Liberalism 1010 articles. I am proud to be a USU college liberal and I have to say that I love the fact that you even put an article for liberals in The Statesman. Week after week all I ever see in the statesman is conservative articles and political comics. The liberals of this community are not effectively represented in The Statesman and it is important that we have at least one article a week that caters to our opinions. The writer also states that these Liberal 1010 articles present “no or little factual basis” when in fact, there is plenty of factual evidence and if there was no evidence, then why doesn’t the writer give us some examples of what the articles are lying about? I respect the writer’s opinions and we are glad to hear that people are talking about these issues, but criticizing other people’s political views and suggesting that they are liars is just ludicrous, especially when The Statesman has considerably fewer articles that present a liberal front.
