Dear Editor,

I’m glad that the George Anne has decided to keep posting opposing viewpoints in the paper, but I’m entirely disappointed in the lack of originality. I understand that, currently, we have so much coverage on the presidential race that it can be hard to ignore what is going on week to week. However, reading the exact same opinions week after week on the presidential candidates gets tiring. I know that you have the atypical sides on the presidential issues and that is wonderful, but I’m tired of flipping the page and skipping the opinion section completely.

In my high school, I was the opinion editor and we had 4,000 students we distributed to. I didn’t pump out the same ho-hum opinions every week because I respected my readers enough to give them something fresh and new. You let Rob and Fritz spin us the same story week after week, don’t the students at this university deserve something fresh and exciting to read?

I do order the same thing at restaurants because it is comforting and I know what to expect, but sometimes it is nice to switch it up for the excitement of a new experience. I would love to see a new set of opinions on something other than politics. One Million Moms protested Ellen DeGeneres becoming JCPenney’s newest spokesperson, and Bill O’Reilly of all people defended Ellen. I think that is a pretty intriguing opposing opinion article, but I’m sure I’ll read about Romney and Obama again on Thursday.
