Washington Expose Chopped Up by Fan

Your hatchet job on the University of Washington football team is yet another disturbing example of journalistic irresponsibility. Although you couch your articles in a style of objective fact-finding, your attack on this football program is obviously a biased attempt to (1) imply that Washington’s recent domination of the local Pac-10 football teams is attributable to something beyond the play on the football field, (2) scare off local high school prospects who are deciding whether to select Washington over the local Pac-10 schools, and (3) of course, draw national attention to your newspaper by attacking one of the more highly publicized football programs in the country.

I hope this obviously biased attack falls short of its intended goals and draws similar feelings of national outrage at this breech of the remaining vestiges of “journalistic integrity.”
