A good newspaper will present opposite points of view. If it did not do so, it would not have a market. In other words no one would buy the newspaper because it lacks credibility. Still, on the editorial page, the editor will support or disagree with a particular position. This position is clearly labeled editorial or the expression of an opinion. How you interpret that position will depend upon your point of view. Unfortunately, you and many others believe that a newspaper looks at the world through one lens only. A company that runs a newspaper in a democracy cannot afford to do that. You think that people are similar to newspapers, but our interpretations of the world depend upon our experiences, and since we change constantly to the world around us, so will our emotions and view points. Therefore, we will disagree quite often. JMOP- Mephisto "By your logic that makes the WSJ liberal. I always figured the Journal had Hunt for comic relief and the Times had Safire for the opposite reason." After I had posted an article by Friedman, a poster told me that he disagreed with Friedman's position so I mentioned that Safire publishes articles in the same paper. I thought the poster might like Safire's articles. I never mentioned the WSJ to the poster.
