Letter: Political Bias

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Do you only report about Democrat candidates or am I missing your reporting on Republican candidates some how? The Berkshire Eagle is a left-favoring periodical that I've learned to simply ignore because of their bias. Please clarify my dilemma sooner than later.

I appreciate your efforts & overall coverage but it appears a political bias is showing itself.

Editor's note: iBerkshires covers all local candidates and state candidates who visit Berkshire County (and let us know they're coming!) We have been focusing on the upcoming primary, which has no local Republican races. We wrote about gubernatorial candidate Geoffry Diehl and two candidates who recently came to Pittsfield.

City Man Charged in Marshall Street Crash

iBerkshires.com Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – A city man is facing charges in connection with a Thursday crash that damaged two buildings on Marshall Street.
 
John Miner, of North Adams, who police said is in his 40s, has been charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle, marked lanes violation and wanton destruction of property after his pickup truck crashed into Brewster’s antique shop and damaged nearby Trés Niños Taqueria.
 
According to North Adams Police Chief Mark Bailey, Miner was traveling on St. Anthony’s Drive and turned left onto Marshall Street.
 
“As he was turning onto Marshall Street, Miner began revving his engine, causing his tires to start to lose traction and his back end began to fish-tail,” Bailey said. “Miner lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the businesses on Marshall Street.
 
“Witnesses on scene said that they could hear a vehicle burning out before hearing the crash.”
 
Bailey said that Miner was not wearing his seat belt at the time of his accident but a passenger in his vehicle was. The passenger was treated for injury at the scene but not taken to the hospital.
 
Both businesses impacted by the crash remain closed.
