You are basically complaining that the DP doesn't publish consistent with your political views.  The thing I don't get about that is why you still read the DP and lodge the same complaints that won't be resolved to your satisfaction.  I don't read Fox News very often for the same reason.  Why do you beat your head against the wall reading a publication that you feel has bad reporting?
