Letter about Linda Rosas Townson

Letters 10/21/04
"This is in response to "An important story found way into
print," a letter by Lisa Shannon-Torgerson on Sept. 30:
"She mentioned that a community newspaper should be
unbiased. I couldn't agree more, but her insinuation that
Linda R. Townson, publisher of The Star News, is biased
in any way stems from her personal bias, that her fiancé,
Michael Burgess (which she failed to mention), was let go
from the newspaper.
"Townson might not have a background in journalism but
her 17-year record in publishing speaks for itself.
"By the way, I work for The East County Californian and
The Alpine Sun, sister papers of The Star News, and am
also Linda Townson's niece. So, yes, I am very biased, but
at least I am honest enough to admit it."
