Local Newspaper Serves Up A Biased Political Viewpoint
by Don Zeigler on Jan.12, 2010, under My Opinion
As I recall from my nearly nine years at the Bluefield Daily Telegraph, the main job of a newspaper is to present news and opinion in a balanced manner. One would not know that from reading this paper, at least not the online edition, which is supposedly a mirror of the print version.

by Don Zeigler on Dec.29, 2009, under My Opinion, National News
If you've never heard of Orly Taitz, she's the queen of the "Birther" movement, which contends Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen and therefore not eligible to serve as President of the United States.

by Don Zeigler on Nov.28, 2009, under Tech
It's nearly impossible for any company today, regardless of size, to do business without an Internet connection in its office(s). However, the downside to this is the potential for abuse by employees. It's a pretty safe bet we all know at least one person at work who seems to spend more time on Facebook or [...]
