Anyone from Central Oregon? [View all]

I read the local newspaper here (I actually used to work for it), and the reactionary letters to the editor are my main source of entertainment. We have everything: Right-wingers blaming the forest fires on environmentalists, to local sports coaches defending their right to lead a public sports team in prayer, with other writers acting as cheerleaders and berating those who write in to protest.

Then we have the "FDR Democrat" editorial board that thinks it's progressive because they're pro-choice, but endorse every Republican candidate for everything. They also back voter ID.

Anytime someone says "liberal media", I want to show them our Bulletin rag.
