Dear Pioneer,
I am wondering why, in the wake of so much political activism and social awareness, on the front page of The Pioneer newspaper “Chris Brown Dances into the Bay Area” is a top story? Chris Brown pleaded GUILTY to felony assault of his then girlfriend. I was hoping that The Pioneer would better reflect the times instead of flagrant front page endorsement of a dime-a-dozen domestic abusing artist. I realize that we have a very diverse campus, however helping Chris Brown sell more CDs is not on my agenda at anytime. The fact that The Pioneer thought it was newsworthy to the CSUEB community communicates that The Pioneer underestimates the intelligence of the higher education that all of us as students are seeking.
