Opinions and Plagiarism
In response to an outcry over plagiarism in the newspaper's opinion pages, the Bulletin published an editorial acknowledging the problem in 2009. The Bulletin as since stopped publishing these letters in their online edition while still allowing the letters in the print edition.
The newspaper's editorials are characterized by a conservative stance on immigration and social issues. For example, Managing Editor Dennis Wyatt wrote that if immigrants "preferred their lives in whatever country they heralded where they weren’t required to speak English to communicate in a business, in school, on a job or with the government then perhaps they should have thought twice about coming to the United States."
In early 2012, the newspaper's opinion pages featured excerpts from the book "Suicide of a Superpower" by Pat Buchanan, including chapters titled "The End of White America" and "The Death of Christian America", after Mr. Buchanan was fired from MSNBC for publishing this material.

Famous quotes containing the words opinions and/or plagiarism:
“...I didn’t consider intellectuals intelligent, I never liked them or their thoughts about life. I defined them as people who care nothing for argument, who are interested only in information; or as people who have a preference for learning things rather than experiencing them. They have opinions but no point of view.... Their talk is the gloomiest type of human discourse I know.... This is a red flag to my nature. Intellectuals, to me have no natures ...”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“Mr. Fitzgerald—I believe that is how he spells his name—seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
