The Detroit News has had a conservative editorial page since forever. They have never endorsed a Democrat for President.
Nolan Finley took over the editorial page a couple years ago, and in spite of promises to maintain a "conservative" editorial page, he has shifted sharply to the left. He has run hosannas about affirmative action. He thinks we should giving preferences to the son of a rich black doctor from Bloomfield Hills over the son of a lower middle class white auto supply worker from Warren.
He's been slowly shifting left to the point that the News's editorial page, outside of Thomas Bray's column and Henry Payne's cartoons, is tough to distinguish from the leftist Detroit Free Press.
Those of you who subscribe to the paper should look to switching to one of the suburban dailies. Heck, even switching to the Free Press would make more sense, at least the Free Press doesn't pretend to be conservative while publishing liberal editorials. The News, under leftist Finley, has put on a charade the last two years, all to build up to this moment where they try to destroy Bush. It won't work, but they need to be punished for their little stunt. It's the only way they'll learn their lesson.
Yep. Better off now subscribing to the Limbaugh letter.
I have to say, Findly did write a great editorial slamming the move to restore control of the Detroit School board to that corrupt group that it was taken from 6 years ago.
