The reference to Gov. Palin in the opening paragraph is obviously editorial  her support for improving Alaska's infrastructure, followed by rejection of earmark funding for same, may both be factual  but the sentence draws a conclusion as to why that is the author's opinion, and is not supported by the article referenced (as implied). IMO, it does not meet the so-called NPOV standard, and ought to be re-worded accordingly  or, provide the basis for the conclusion.    eric schmitz
