Reader’s view: ‘Mo-Bama’ headline was racist and insensitive
The Nov. 7 front-page headline in the News Tribune — “Mo-Bama!” — was both racist and insensitive regarding the presidential election. The newspaper headline indicated a lack of newspaper leadership in Duluth regarding racism.

Reader's view: Alarmist headline on moose mortality story
I want to point out that the somewhat alarmist headline on moose mortality on the front page of the March 18 edition of the News Tribune was in no way supported by the data in the article (“Wolves taking toll on Minnesota moose”).

Reader's view: ‘MO-BAMA’ headline was bullying
The News Tribune’s bottom-of-the-barrel choice for its lead, front-page headline on Nov. 7 — “MO-BAMA!” was one even the tabloids would avoid.

Reader’s view: Why doesn’t welfare require drug tests?
The article on the front page of the May 7 News Tribune about the accused heroin dealer now facing charges caught my attention (“Man faces drug charges after police chase in West Duluth”).

Reader’s view: Students will be left behind by Duluth’s large classes
I could not believe my eyes with the headline across the top of the front page of the Sunday, Oct. 7 paper: “49 students in a class.” Unbelievable! I thought with the new schools, problems like this would be solved.

Reader's view: Why do we allow gun zealots to bully us?
On Dec. 16 the News Tribune, on its front page, asked “Why?” after the slaughter of children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But “why?” is the wrong question following these all-too-common tragedies.

Reader's view: The Bible does not endorse homosexual marriage
It seems almost every day there are a couple of articles in the News Tribune on the subject of gay marriage. On the front page of the Opinion section on Easter Sunday was a large commentary by a professor of theology and religion.

Reader’s view: Don’t trust the media to check political claims
Here’s one man’s nomination for oxymoron of the day. It’s from the front page of the Oct. 6 News Tribune and an Associated Press story by Calvin Woodward: “When Obama and (Romney) debate tonight, the media’s fact-checking corps will be watching.”

Reader's view: Headline writer should have seen racism
Although it has been on my mind for several weeks, only recently has it come to my attention that the totally inappropriate headline on the top of the front page of the Nov. 7 News Tribune — “MO-BAMA!” — not only was approved by Editor Robin Washington but was, in fact, written by him.

Reader's view: Killing of trees on Chester Creek is inexcusable
It was sad to read on the front page of the July 17 News Tribune about the excessive tree cutting at Chester Creek (“Up in arms over downed trees”). But it was devastating to go there and witness firsthand the unnecessary destruction of the creek brought about by overzealous chain saws unleashed by the city of Duluth.

National view: Obama’s drone program raises serious ethical questions
A very strange story, that 6,000-word front-page New York Times piece on how, every Tuesday, President Obama shuffles “baseball cards” with the pictures and bios of suspected terrorists from around the world and chooses who shall die by drone strike.

Reader's view: Last Place on Earth an abomination, not nuisance
I just read the front page article about the Last Place on Earth (“Last Place on Earth deemed a ‘nuisance,’” Aug. 10). So now the city of Duluth has labeled it a “nuisance.” Well, that’s pretty tame, isn’t it? I’d call it an abomination, which my dictionary says is “anything that excites disgust, hatred or loathing.”

Local view: No child should have to wonder why they’ve been abandoned
My heart was in my throat after reading Wednesday’s front-page article about the daughter of Minnesota House candidate Erik Simonson (“Simonson’s daughter says he abandoned her”). Not only did I feel for Simonson’s daughter, Leah, and for her mother, I could relate. I’ve lived a similar situation in my family.

Faces & Names: Astro Bob makes NBC Nightly News
Fans of DNT blogger Astro Bob (aka chief photographer Bob King, above) already know that his reach is, well, intergalactic. But he also has terrestrial appeal. Testament of that was aired nationally on NBC Nightly News Monday night, when anchor Brian Williams displayed his photo of the unusual pinkish-hued aurora borealis from Monday’s paper. The cover shot also was selected by Sharon Shahid of the Washington D.C.-based Newseum as one of its Top Ten newspaper front pages of the day. Far out, Bob!

Reader's View: Use restraint in display of wolf trophy photos
Now that the Minnesota Supreme Court has rejected an effort to stop the unnecessary wolf hunt and barbaric trapping, the slaughter of these magnificent animals begins.

Letter to the editor: Budgeteer warms reader’s heart
I had a bummer week a while back and didn’t want to read any paper, then I saw my Budgeteer News and knew it would be uplifting.
