It just kills me when people accuse the Omaha World-Herald of being "reactionary," when in fact while it once was conservative, that was a very long time ago. """"

The World-Herald was conservative through the 1950s, if I remember right.

World Herald while nominally Republican thinks that Bob Kerry, Warren Buffet can do no wrong, actually the once more liberal Lincoln Journal Star now will endorse Republican candidates

Well, some people have the impression it is still "conservative," but I think it's only a facade.

I mean, yeah, sure, while the Omaha World-Herald supported George Bush both times for the presidency and all that, and generally endorses Republicans even if conservative, its editorial policy since circa the 1970s has generally usually most of the time on other issues taken the usual typical "moderate" to "hard" left stance of affluent liberals; on things such as abortion, euthanasia, taxes, governmental spending it is difficult to differentiate between the Omaha World-Herald and the New York Times.

That is on their editorial pages, I mean.
