Distinguish fact, opinion

Published 5:00 am Saturday, June 30, 2012

There has been a lot of talk about how to decide which letters to the editor and In My View submissions to print. I would like to suggest one improvement. Please stop printing headlines that make statements rather than opinions. In the Friday, June 22 edition of The Bulletin, the In My View submission from Bill Logan was headlined, “Obama didn’t save auto jobs; he exported them to China.” Whether this is true or not, it was presented as fact. This happens on all sides of issues. Lots of people read just the headlines of stories and believe them to be true. I ask that The Bulletin staff use nonprejudicial headlines in the future and let those of us who choose to read the entire article decide the truth.
