Apparently trying to make up for a slightly skewed sample in the previously referenced "debate" over urban violence, Metro went out to Mission Hill seeking forgiveness.

I think it would be too much to attribute method to Metro's madness, but if you do, then you can look at it a couple of different ways: either the editorial staff wants us to think we live in a deeply divided city—the "Two Bostons" hypothesis, or we really do live in a deeply divided city, and it's enough that a random, unscientific, infinitesimal sample bolsters this tale of two cities.

The third way to look at it is, like John said in his comment to the first post: "Sometimes I think the Metro pulls their 'Today’s Debate' section from old issues of The Onion."
