Although I agree that any person running for a public office should be scrutinized, I must also point out that they should be given a fair and impartial review. This is something numerous political candidates have not received from the media lately. The snide remarks throughout the editorial reflect that The Pitt News, too, is included. Lines such as, ‘Perhaps Palin doesn’t know the meaning of the word unethical,’ may be true. But perhaps The Pitt News doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘unbiased.’ The accusations you make might all be valid, but is she not innocent until proven guilty? The point of your editorials should be to supply material and let the reader make their own opinions based on the given information. Joshua Henschel School of Arts and Sciences
