News must be slow this week because the Norman Transcript was forced to rely on The Observer, a liberal opinion paper, to write what it likely believes is an "impartial" news story. The opinion piece attacked Republican Senator Kathleen Wilcoxson for not knowing "whether she is in favor of public education or not" (a ridiculous charge) and lauded Democrat Wallace Collins for "fighting corporate interests" (equally ridiculous).
The Norman Transcript then added in it's own commentary to the "news" story, saying "Although he doesn't always get credit for it, Mr. Collins' was the impetus behind the bill that put defibrillators in our public schools. The bill couldn't buy a hearing when he was the lead author but when he handed it off to a lawmaker on the other side of the aisle, it passed easily and quickly." If The Transcript wishes to at least pretend that it's an unbiased paper, it should cease injecting opinion in its news stories and probably find some original material.

Doesn't sound too unusual for the Norman Misprint.
