This is without a doubt the most ridiculous policy I have ever heard. What are you thinking?! You are a newspaper; reporting on what is going on is your job. Giving a forum for the public voice is the point of letters to the editor. What about educating voters.... is that not a valid function of the press? Shall we all make up our minds out of whole cloth, uninfluenced by outside information?! What if something really important happens of which voters should be informed? Are you abdicating your journalistic responsibility to all the other media outlets? What is the point of your existence as a newspaper if that is the case?
Newspapers lament their lack of readership in light of electronic and other emerging media. With policies like this, you don't deserve a loyal readership. "
