I was very disappointed in the Sun Journal’s decision to place Mark LaFlamme’s article on the Constitutional Coalition on the front page (July 6).

The front page ought to be reserved for news articles and when I saw the headline I assumed that it would, in fact, be a news article that presented all sides of that very contentious subject. Instead, what I got was more of a forum that the two principals of the Constitutional Party (are there more than a handful of members?) used to spew their rhetoric without any counterbalancing views.

Apparently, the presence of a “hefty black case” was enough to substantiate the significance of the evidence they use to back up their claims without the newspaper looking into the case and actually investigating.

That article, or at least some version of it, should have been either on the editorial page or, preferably, on a features page where LaFlamme’s articles often appear. To print it on the front page represents, to me, a serious error in judgment by the editor and something I hope is not repeated in the future.
