Letter: Political Bias

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.

Greylock Thunder Successful in First Day of Home Event

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Avery Lane raced home on an error in the bottom of the sixth to give the Greylock Thunder 16-and-under travel softball team an 8-7 walkoff win over the Columbia County (N.Y.) Reds and a 2-0 record on the first day of the Summer Storm event at Alcombright Field.

 

The Thunder is welcoming in three other travel teams for a two-day round-robin event that concludes on Sunday afternoon.

 

Greylock won the first game, 4-3, over the Valley Storm of Greenfield.

 

It then trailed, 6-0, in the third inning of its second game against the Reds.

 

But the Thunder stormed back, eventually tying it with a four-run fifth and winning in a walkoff the next inning, the last allowed under the event’s time limit.

 

Lane started the winning rally by reaching on an infield error to lead off the inning.

 

Kendall Moran then sacrificed to move Lane over, but an error on the play allowed Moran to reach base and Lane to score the winning run.
