An article in your paper today by Richard Benedetto said:
"A patriotic camp with a "God Bless Our President!" banner has sprung up in Crawford, where anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq, had been camping out until recently. The pro-Bush camp was set up by the father of a Marine killed in Iraq who says his son was proud to serve Bush and believed in his mission."

This is INCORRECT in that you are calling a pro-bush camp "PATRIOTIC" which seemingly then compares Cindy Sheehan's Camp Casey to be somehow "unpatriotic".
There is nothing more patriotice than dissent.
Both camps are expressing their points of view on an issue. Yours is not the duty to declare one camp "patriotic" over another. Richard Benedetto should be ashamed to call himself a journalist.
Your duty to the public is to report the issues, not to add rhetoric or judgement.
Report the news, which is that a pro-bush camp has been set up and that is all. This camp has an opposite view than Cindy's camp. That is all the news. Period.
