I have been reading your paper for 50-plus years and still pay for home delivery. However, your liberal slant is becoming almost unbearable.
You had front page reporting of the Trayvon Martin incident including the Al Sharpton accusations, the hoodie vigil on the parade, for example. But May 16, when the Zimmerman injury details slip out, you bury the news in a short story: "Zimmerman's injuries detailed," on page A5. In all fairness, wouldn't you think that a story that goes contrary to Al Sharpton's racist rants deserves front-page reporting? Or, since the facts diffused your liberal leaning accusations of racism, did your liberal prejudice win out over your responsibility for fair and balanced reporting?
