RE: Media taking action in proposed sale

["Paul Hopfgarten" <paul@03038.com>]

Though most newspapers slant their "reporting" to meet their readers anyway.

The Boston Glob is the biggest example...they slant the news so far to the
left that one has to read the paper sideways....I wish they'd sell a
separate "Globe Sports" paper that I could buy without having to get the
news section...

(Yes, my state's own Union Leader slants to the Right...though not anywhere
near the level they slanted in the William Loeb days....heck they even
endorsed a candidate for Congress, that while currently Republican, was a
Democrat as recently as 1994 (and worked on the Dukakis for Pres campaign).
The old Wm Loeb U-L would NEVER have endorsed such a candidate).

Now if we could just do something about National Proletariat Radio (90.9
Boston 89.1 Concord)!
