I try to catch up with the Trib every day. So far, since Doug Mastriano won the Republican primary (even before that), I haven’t noticed a positive word in your paper about him. Has everything he has ever done in his entire life been negative? I understand he may be considered a right-wing extremist, but is that for the Trib to decide or the reader?

Hasn’t he served admirably in the military for most of his career, retired as a colonel and then served as a state senator? Isn’t there something that some old-fashioned journalism can uncover on the positive side about this guy, even accidentally? We can get the rest of that stuff anywhere.
