Richmond Confidential's Fourth Year Reporters
Still a communist leaning “news” outlet…
I will probably regret asking, but… Explain? Include examples if you are able, please.

Jason, that’s a strong statement to make, “communist leaning “news” outlet…” Ouch! clarify or retract; statements like these divide people and increase the growth of ignorance with stupidity! I may not agree with liberal media outlets, but calling a media “communist”, that’s a strong accusation!
Thank you for doing what you do!
There’s something terribly wrong with our news gathering outlets when we get more information from an online “newspaper” from a graduate school than we do from the “professional” news outlets.
My only caution is to be sure you know who you’re getting your information from and try to learn what agenda they’re trying to push. Verify your information as much as possible so you don’t end up being a shill for the many community activists roaming our streets.
Lastly, try to be objective and strive to make your stories more like actual news stories and less like editorials pushing your own positions.
Welcome to Richmond. We’re glad to have you.
Please try to report honestly ALL the news. Don’t cave to the message that it is your “mission” to only report “positive” things about Richmond. Your mission is to leave opinion out of it and report what happened fairly.
