Since the Tampa Tribune closed and the TBT became the only major newspaper in the Tampa Bay Area, half of our community’s opinions have been ignored and even trampled. Coverage is unbalanced and it is clear that TBT strongly favors the Democratic Party platform. Most articles and certainly columns prop up democratic candidates and attempt to take down their opponents. News is printed that has not been properly vetted, and conservative voices have been mostly silenced. That would be fine if the Tribune still existed, but when it was purchased and closed, it put the responsibility squarely on the TBT to be more balanced, fair and accurate - which has not occurred. Even Politifact will justify an inconvenient truth about a candidate or position that the paper supports, while affording the other side no such courtesy. Put Joe Guidry back on your editorial staff at least so many of us can hear at least on reasoned and nonpartisan voice.
