Romney’s speech got too much space

I am writing this email to let you know that I am very disappointed in your reporting on the presidential campaign. In your Sept. 19 Daily Herald, I do not understand how you could have 3½ pages, one of these the front page, on the speech Romney gave about the 47 percent. All the facts in his speech are true. With all the unrest in the Middle East, you had just one article covering that issue, on the second page.

Also, with the economy in shambles, the debt at $16 trillion, food stamps to millions of people and jobs at the lowest in years, how can you print 3½ pages on a speech that Romney gave? Perhaps because our president is absent on all these issues. He is in Las Vegas, on the David Letterman show, and attending gala events with Hollywood. I am upset that you are using the Daily Herald as another arm of the Obama campaign
