Your publication of David Gold's letter ("'Occupy' coverage was a little faulty," Nov. 29) regarding the "Occupy" demonstration at John Wayne Airport illustrates both a positive trend and a disturbing one in Daily Pilot news coverage.
The very positive trend is that you seem to be allowing more letters in opposition to your apparent political position. The disturbing trend is that a political position is so apparent in your news reporting. The discrepancies that Gold pointed out in his letter are frequently obvious in your reporting on Costa Mesa political news in both the unbalanced attention paid to the hotly disputed actions of the City Council and the slant of the headlines and subheadings.
Even your title for Gold's letter illustrates a bias: While he stated that "the paper is faulty in its coverage" and "utterly failed to tell the whole truth in its reporting," your title for the letter says the "coverage was a little faulty" (italics mine).
