Re: “New kid on the block”

Hooray for the Shredder's column about Al Fonzi's rants. I've sent letters and made calls about his lack of supporting evidence for his column, only to be told that he is a freelance writer and his columns must be published. Free speech is fine but not if it contains known errors of fact and shady remarks.

Why does NewTimes not have a requirement that columns and letters to the editor adhere to certain word limits?
