Am I the only one that has stopped reading and writing to the op-eds?

Since November's election, it seems that the hatred and vitriol presented in editorials and letters, toward anyone left of Attila the Hun has grown exponentially. In San Diego, the only decent voice in our newspaper here, James Goldsborough quit because they killed an editorial of his that, in their opinion, was overly critical of the shrub. Now it's only knee jerk, predictable right wing parrots like George Will, and Joseph Perkins that are allowed to express their opinions in our paper.

It's just so damn depressing. Is anyone else feeling like that about their local papers?

2. Pointless is a good word to describe it.
