Free political advertising?

Dear Editor:

The notice "Courtesy of Citizens for Phillies" at the beginning of the otherwise unsigned lead article on the front page of your April 2 issue does not excuse your sloppy journalism. This piece of prose is not an article, and should either have appeared on your editorial and commentary pages under the signature of an identifiable author, or even more properly as a paid political advertisment. As it is, you have given the Libertarian Party free advertising space for statements of opinion such as "Libertarians stand in the dynamic center of the political spectrum."
