In article <16FF17096S86.J056600@LMSC5.IS.LMSC.LOCKHEED.COM>, J056600@LMSC5.IS.LMSC.LOCKHEED.COM (Tim Irvin) writes: |> The Merc is a Knight-Ridder paper, and just about as liberal in the editorial |> page as they come. The editorial page and the endorsements published in the paper often don't have anything to do with one another. In my home town, the editorials are always liberal, but the paper invariably endorses candidates so right- wing they make the DAR look like the Black Panthers. Why? Because the editor is a liberal, and the blue-haired old lady who owns the paper is a crank reactionary. She doesn't care what he prints as long as it sells papers, until it comes time for the elections. Then the paper endorses the candidates she wants. So it goes around the nation. Few tycoons have liberal politics. -- Mike O'Brien obrien@aero.org
