I read with interest today in the paper that the profits at Casino Windsor are expected to dramatically drop. The story is indeed news but unbalanced. In the story the Star quoted two councillors on the problem. Since we are going to the polls for the municipal election on November 13th, I feel the Star is not being fair, to the democratic process.
If indeed you want to get a quote from a councillor but do not want to get one from one of the people that is challenging that councillor, the councillor should go unnamed. It could be attributed to simply as a "member of council", and if more that one quote "another present member of council".
Alternatively you could give both sides of a debate the opportunity to express their thoughts. I noticed this not only in the story of the casino, but in the coverage of the bus terminal. Do not the readers of the Star deserve to read the whole story?
