Letter: Political Bias

Letter to the Editor07:00PM / Tuesday, August 09, 2022Print 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.

Snow, or More Snow? Depends on Your State

04:04PM / Thursday, February 19, 2026

The Berkshires could get 2 to 4 inches of snow on Friday. Or it could get 6 to 9 inches.

Which are you hoping for?

The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm warning for Southern Vermont and a winter storm advisory for the Berkshires — but any snow isn't likely to stop at the imaginary border.

The warning was issued early Thursday afternoon for communities including Bennington, Pownal and Stamford, Vt., beginning Friday at 10 a.m. through Saturday at 1 p.m.

The day will start off with a wintry mixed precipitation of snow, sleet and freezing rain. The forecast for total snow accumulations are 6 to 9 inches and up at a 10th of an inch of ice. Snowfall rates may reach up to an inch an hour in the evening.

In the Berkshires, the prediction is 2 to 4 inches of snow with the advisory also in effect from 10 a.m. on Friday to 1 a.m. on Saturday. The higher elevations could see up to 7 inches; the region could see up to 2/10th of an inch of ice.

Snow during the day on Friday will likely be wet and heavier before becoming lighter and drier in the evening.
