Re: Opinion pieces are supposed to be biased

I think the point I was making is that almost ALL the opinion pieces in this particular paper are biased in a single direction, if "biased" can be used to describe the rampant leftism.

And the difference to be remembered is, Rush is a conservative and proudly proclaims it on many occasions. The editorial staff of the San Francisco Chronicle would swear on their mothers' graves that they were the soul of objectivity, and that only a right-wing conspiracy nut could possibly think they were biased toward the left.

The scary thing is, that a lot of them truly believe it. Most journalists don't notice their own biases in that environment any more than a fish notices that it's wet.

And I notice no one has risen to my bait of counting conservative newspapers and comparing it to the count of liberal ones.

"Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Washington Times....uh...National Review.....er...uh...."
