[Paleo Conservative]

This is all I will quote from the article.

Tony Day, who served as editorial page editor from 1971 to 1989, said Otis Chandler, the former publisher, had wanted to steer the paper away from its "ferociously Republican" roots and toward a more mainstream approach, so he stopped presidential endorsements after 1972. "At the time, it was the best thing to do because the paper was able to break with the past and continue what I think was a rather long march toward a more sophisticated, and dare I say more liberal, newspaper," Day told E&P.

dare I say more liberal, newspaper," Day told E&P.

Oh, so liberalism equals sophistication? ROFLOL. I guess these morons didn't see the trash in the streets protesting the RNC in NYC a few weeks back. Puh-leeze! Leftists are frothing at the mouth haters.

"Dare I say...liberal"

I can't stop laughing at the comic understatement.
