Spring Break
Letter from the Spartan Daily
Issue date: 11/5/09 Section: Opinion
In Tuesday's edition of the Spartan Daily, we reported on protesters accusing the San Jose Police Department of brutality.
Our reporter at the event did not encounter any SJPD presence and did not seek comment from the department.
We should have held the story, pending comment from SJPD.
As a news organization, we strive for neutrality in our coverage of issues, and we feel the majority of our reporting has succeeded in that goal. We take our neutral role seriously and we apologize to our readers for this lapse.
With this in mind, our reporter has reached out to members of the law enforcement community for comment about this issue in an attempt to balance our coverage.

Well, what else can you expect from a bunch of liberal college kids?
