More balance in news

| | Comments (0)

The York Daily Record does not serve its readers well when it hides important news such as a drop in violence in the Iraq War this fall and the abandonment of the Dolly cloning technique.

On Saturday, November 17’s paper, the editor buried news that the Iraq War is working on page A7 in a few short sentences. Since most people will just read the headlines and not take the time to read the whole article, they would not know of the drop of violence in Iraq. This is a deceptive way to make Yorkers believe that the Iraq War is hopeless.

I was also disappointed with how the York Daily Record downplayed an article about the possible end of therapeutic cloning on the bottom of page A7 on Sunday, November 18’s newspaper. This has been a major medical and political issue for years and should have been front-page news. This just proves the York Daily Record’s bias. I would really like to see a more balanced treatment of the news in the future.
