The liberal media often ignores 'good news' (endorsements, accomplishments; problems solved & solutions proposed; innovative strategy) by our candidates so we have to balance that with our letters to the editors.
I've developed 'email relationships' with the editors of a few newspapers. When I find an especially good article that gives information supporting our values; I email it and request it be printed 'to maintain balance'. I've had a few successes with this approach.....once getting an article by Col. Ollie North printed in Kennedy Kountry.
The day after the 9-11 attack; I called an editorial page editor and complained about the Doonesbury cartoon. He agreed the content was inappropriate at that time & suspended it. Unfortunately it returned after two weeks.
If I see too many political cartoons bashing the GOP & conservative values; I'll point out that 'more balance' is needed. These local newspapers seem to like to pretend that 'balance' is desirable....LOL.....maybe FOX is having an impact?
FR is a great place to get facts & information to share with one's email list. Just before the election I will send emails to personal friends telling them who I'm voting for & why.

Appreciate your remarks, and getting rid of Doonsbury- even shortly- is a good development.
