Mr. Hornback,
ReplyDeleteI think they were trying to sound 'formal', 'respectful' and so on. You know, Phil becomes Phillip, Steve becomes Stephen and Jim becomes James. I don't see any bias here.
If there is any bias anywhere with respect to the campaign for the governship it stems from the 36 point spread in the polls between Phil and Jim.

Trying to sound formal? Formal is using the title Governor Whatever his name is and not using the title of Senator Jim Bryson, but refer to him as opponent James Bryson. It is not Fair and Balanced. It is News-Sentinel bias, they are afraid that Dave Cooley's boss is in trouble.
