Why non-regional sourced opinions?

I read your online publication almost daily, watching for local news and comment from the community.  However, I have noticed a recent trend where the Richmond-based news outlet Virginia Mercury is becoming a more prolific contributor to the opinion section.  While their left-of-center commentary provides a balance to the more extreme right views that are sometimes published, the fact that the opinion section is becoming an outlet for a non-regional and non-local news organization is somewhat distressing.  Perhaps a column for locally syndicated discussion is more appropriate.
