Dick,
I write articles for the Public Pulse in the Grand Rapids Press. Once they published a guest editorial about the Palm Sunday tornadoes that passed through the area in the '60's when I was in LE. Interesting story if I say so myself.
I've written articles about a variety of subjects, mostly in a political vein from a conservative viewpoint. The GR Press is borderline anti firearm and lobbied against the shall issue law. I can't remember if they were opposed to the recent castle doctrine law that was passed, but probably they were opposed.
I once wrote a piece regarding gun laws, statistics, etc etc. Now I've had dozens of articles of mine published unchallenged and I have seen many many articles containing specious "facts" and downright lies. But this time the editor first e mailed me and then called me to challenge my facts. I told him I found it odd that he wouldn't publish my article unless I could back up what I said, yet published, almost on a monthly basis, opinion pieces or op eds with blatant incorrect propaganda. His response was that he'd get hysterical calls and letters from the anti's regarding my piece and he needed to know where I got my facts. I guess I found that reasonable but still odd that he would publish the other viewpoints unchallenged.
