Dear Editor:Congratulations, Downey Patriot, on the change of status to newspaper of general circulation. Let's hope that you will not follow in the path of many, almost bankrupt, newspapers around this great country who have chosen to alienate readers with a slant that leans way too far to the left. The paper, so far, has been a pleasure. And to all the interns and future interns at The Downey Patriot, I have some great advice for you. If you want people to trust and believe in you and your work, do not drive, accidentally or purposefully, into a body of water and leave your passenger in the car to die. Also, do not cheat on tests. I can guarantee that honest and ethical people will never trust you or your work for the rest of your life. - Jeffrey East, Downey
