Lynn Engle a conservative journalist from Winchester who has contributed articles regularly to the Winchester Star has been informed by the Editor that "she may not submit political pieces during election season because it is unfair to those who disagree with [her]."
This action by the Winchester Star appears to be yet another effort to stifle views that the mainstream media would prefer not to be discussed or revealed in public by persons they do not agree with. 'Letters to the Editor' have historically been the public soapbox available to all.
The question that remains is who will be allowed to express an opinion on issues or reveal facts about candidates for public office?

Whatever happened to freedom of speech and press? Comments don't count unless they are aligned with the side of the media. This is a gross injustice to not only Ms. Engle, but to readers of the Winchester Star. Had she been on the other side, they would have taken every piece she submitted. Sad but true.
