Take me off the mailing list for The Littleton Examiner. You are a sad example of responsible, unbiased journalism when you publish four and half pages of Wal-Mart bashing, and three and a half lines of pro-Wal-Mart text (Jim DuBose’s comments) in your January 2007 edition.

Get off the Wal-Mart bashing bandwagon. Report the news fairly. Seek out the comments of Littleton residents who oppose your views.

I called the Wal-Mart contact phone number before the Littleton Examiner January 2007 issue was printed and requested their side of the rezoning hearing.

I did not receive a reply.

I left 3 more messages for them since publication and requested their side of the issue and specifically stated that I would publish their side of the rezoning issue in this issue and on our website.

Again, I did not receive a reply.

On the bottom of page 2 of our January 2007 issue, is a note explaining that we asked Wal-Mart to contribute their thoughts but had not heard from them by press time. We will print their response (any time it is sent) on the website.

Additionally, we presented both sides of the Wal-Mart issue in our August 2006 issue with equal coverage space.

In every edition of The Littleton Examiner we ask for letters – of any opinion. All letters we have received, both pro and con have been published on our website.

For the record, our editorial position is that Wal-Mart should relocate on either Santa Fe or County Line Road within Littleton. Wal-Mart provides a service that is not duplicated by any other retailer and is a valuable retailer for Littleton residents. The proposed site is the wrong one.

I just don’t understand why we need another big Wal-Mart here in Littleton. I have three of them that are just five miles away in any direction. If this fly’s the downtown district of small businesses will really suffer and might have to close. Small town stores have the best climate and everyone that I talk to say that these Big Box stores are killing America by taking away the heart of old time America. People started these business to serve their communities and lived in the same building by giving the people what they wanted. I think that big bucks are talking on this issue and not thinking about being on a flood plain is not the brightest plan. I feel sorry for Littleton if this really goes thru for everyone will LOSE.
