The title of your article, "Conservative columnist Coulter to speak at Penn State" begs the question, "Do you identify all of your speakers this way?"

By that I mean, do you identify other speakers as "Liberal", "Communist", "Left-Wing", "Ex-Felon", etc., or do you reserve the labels for conservatives only?

I would think, "Columnist Ann Coulter to speak at Penn State" or "Best-Selling Author Ann Coulter to speak at Penn State" would suffice to describe Ms. Coulter, yes?

I'll be watching.

Thank you for writing. Is there anything wrong with calling Ann Coulter conservative? She does, in fact, call herself conservative, correct? I believe she is quite proud of being a conservative. Therefore, the headline is accurate.

And for the record, I do not write headlines. I write the stories, and copy editors write headlines.

Thanks again for writing and have a great day! And I am so happy that you'll be "watching."
