The Bias Arizona Republic

Years ago the Arizona Republic was a conservative newspaper -- oh how it has changed.

One of it's most slanted feature is the letters to the Editors page. Not a day goes by without letters bashing Bush, bashing capitalism, bashing corporations or bashing the US Of A. The paper's defense might be that those are the only letter they receive. Wrong. I and several of my conservatives friends complain that letters refuting liberal lies are never printed.

Here are some examples of letters that make my point: one that suggests the recent face transplant would be appropriate for the two faced Bush administration (how clever) - another writer whines that the student loan program budget is being cut by Republicans, (my letter pointing out that federal programs are never cut only the rate of increase is cut never saw the light of day) - yet another lefty letter writer anguished over "corporate greed." Last I checked most jobs are created by corporation -- and millions of workers hold stock in corporations.

The latest hate letter opines:

Dump the whole bunch of 'em
Time for a bright new future for our country.
Dump Bush
Dump Cheney
Dump Frist
Dump McCain*
Dump DeLay
Dump Hastert
Dump all the
business as usual bunch...

This letter may not be published in the AZ Republic - ah, but there is always the Internet - and it damn well will be published online.

*Although the letter writer might have something here.
