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.

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
With winter really upon us and temperatures hitting negatives you might be wondering where a great spot for ice fishing might be. Throughout Berkshire county there are many different bodies of water to choose from.
Be sure to have your fishing license for those 15 years or older that you can purchase online through MassFishHunt.
Also make sure the ice is thick enough before heading out as well as let someone know where you are going. Have an ice fishing destination you want included on our list–email info@iberskhires.com.
