The bottom line is in advancing to journalism 201, you’d learn about op-ed(s) and the fact that the editor can take a stand counter to what is popular, usually in an effort to (*shock*) generate readers and ad revenue.

… but you’d have to take a business course to understand that too.

Unlike this website, AIM is fair and balanced (see below):

Transparency Proposals Come To Anderson

The editorial page is free to express its opinion, but to rip one side without even bothering to hear its arguments is blatant bias. Bonnie's editorial described the motives of those behind the event. Well she must be psychic because she sure as hell didn't give them the chance to tell her their reasons. I guess she didn't want to risk getting caught in a corner by letting them say anything that would conflict with the attack editorial she had pre-written in advance.

I was actually thinking of Martin, Short, and Chase (from the original movie), but yes, that group fits. It also amazes me that a news outlet that so often vilifies traditional (MSM) news outlets is all bent out of shape because a member of the traditional print media chose not to meet with your friends. Awwww. Hats off to helping the AIM with their readership. - SSHM @Anderson Independent

She refused to meet with a constitutional officer (who took a state van on a family vacation ... to MINNESOTA ... and was the butt of jokes on an SNL skit), a State Senator (who spends more time at the SC [Libertarian] Policy Council and fancies himself a used car salesman [see also City of Anderson not letting him sell vehicles from his Drug Store parking lot]), and the state's mote influential think tank (if you find libertarian thought and rationale [e.g., screw you, I got mine] to be influential).
