The column expresses the paper's editorial stance on First Amendment freedoms and public rights. It presents the publisher and executive editor as signatories and includes a Bible verse as today’s quotation seeking moral guidance for readers.
The piece condemns Kanawha County Prosecutor Bill Forbes for dropping misdemeanor battery and property destruction charges against four individuals linked to a coal miners march assault. It argues the decision sends a dangerous message, undermining justice and encouraging future attacks while officials claim probation will be served and no criminal conviction recorded. The editorial cites Hechler’s critique and calls for accountability.
Susan Gullion, a Bramwell WV freelance writer, critiques modern conventions by proposing a island reality show twist. The column lampoons presidential contests with contestants in swimwear, food struggles, and a Social Security allegory to puncture voter cynicism.
G P Hatcher of Radford Va argues from a place of faith that capital punishment deters crime and should be carried out promptly after conviction. He condemns appeals and candlelight protests as sympathetic to criminals and urges TV and newspapers to depict victims and executions to expose the crimes committed.
Cal Thomas argues in the Los Angeles Times Syndicate that big media skewed the Republican Convention coverage by favoring liberal voices and framing questions to push Democratic positions. He cites limited network air time on ABC CBS and NBC and praises C-SPAN for offering commentary free access to the event.
Dale McFeathers laments moving from fractions to decimals driven by a so called sinister cabal. He cites Wall Street Journal decimal market data and argues future generations may skip algebra and mental arithmetic. The piece contrasts historic fraction use with modern digital conveniences and mocks reliance on the Internet for answers.
