I've had a number of "Letters to the Editor" published - over two dozen - including the NY Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, Washington Times and several other, smaller newspapers. Maybe I'll take a shot at the Florida papers. Being from Maryland, I can fake a southern accent.
Absolutely agree...the best way to make the biased press 'fair & balanced' is by writing a letter to the editor! It's been my experience that 'followup emails' are sometimes required to get it printed. Persistance is the key!
