Will The Apparent Rush To Address The Strib's Scheer Bias Continue?
In recent months I've noticed that the Minneapolis Star Tribune editorial page seems to be offering up more pieces that represent the conservative point of view. Of course they still feed us heavy does of Krugman, Ivins, and Dowd but conservative voices are breaking through more and more often. Yesterday's front page of the editorial section was a perfect example. The page was devoted to the California recall and alongside the usual left wing drivel from Robert Scheer appeared a piece from George Will and most shocking of all Rush Limbaugh writing on how the liberal elite hates losing control. Two out of the three editorials were by conservatives. Was I really reading the Minneapolis Star Tribune?
In the past George Will was often the token conservative columnist featured in the editorial pages of the Strib. Six months ago the notion of a Will editorial and a piece by Rush appearing on the same page in the Strib would have been inconceivable. In fact the idea of the Strib even publishing Rush would have seemed far fetched. The times appear to be changing.
