INteresting. When I have picked up the SMN in Franklin, I generally find it to be VERY liberal in its general 'coverage' and certainly in its editorials.

Most newspapers tend to be liberal in their editorial policy. However, I encourage everyone to read Becky Johnson's original article. I happen to know what her politics are. However, I defy anyone to deduce her politics from the contents of her fair and accurate article on a political subject.

In fact, I think she went beyond mere good reporting, and approached the category of excellent writing in any medium. That's why I compared her lede to an O'Henry short story.
