I left a liberal state for a conservative one only to find a liberal paper

I moved from Massachusetts 2 years ago, for several reasons. Sure, the weather and cost of living were at the top of the list. But also being a veteran and one of the few “independents” in Massachusetts, I was looking for more of a melting pot of people and views.

I have subscribed to The Sun News since I moved here, and though it’s no Boston Globe, I thought at least I would see more balance. But no, this paper is as biased as the Globe, as pro-liberal and anti-conservative.

Just look at the cartoons in the opinion section. More than 90 percent make fun of or imply conservative politicians have low intelligence. And the devoted space to left-leaning, self-proclaiming pundits, such as the recent piece entitled, “Hillary Clinton's resounding mandate,” which was one of the most inflammatory pieces I've read.

I ask that the editorial staff at The Sun News present opposing views everyday or not print overwhelmingly anti-conservative views.
