Dear editor,

My name is Abe Lyons. I am an American living in Ukraine and receive whenever it comes out.

I really enjoy the insights and the other stories that your journalists risk life and limb for on a daily basis to report.

The world and Ukraine are benefitting from your great work.

However, I am a bit concerned with the color in which you tend to paint your articles.

That is to say, most of your staff are clearly not fans of President Viktor Yanukovych.

The tone in many articles is heavily geared against the work that Yanokovych is doing.

I did very much enjoy your article in a recent edition which allowed for components on both sides of the issue to have their say.

This was a step in the right direction. I myself am not a journalist, but I do know that there are always multiple ways to see the same issue.

As such, please keep in mind that however horrible Yanokovych may be in your eyes, there is always the other side.

It also seems to me that the job of a journalist is to present the information from an unbiased point of view at times: simply giving the facts and allowing the reader to make their own informed decision on the matter.

Now, I recognize that this is easier said than done. I am not sure if we can even actually report as such, but we can try.

This is not meant to be a hate letter. I will continue to read the quality paper that you all produce.

Please, however, take more opportunities.

Thank you, and remember that the middle is always an optimal place to be.

Thanks, Abe Lyons
