For your consideration.
Just the fact that something like this appears in the SFC is encouraging. I still believe that the MSM, including newspapers, will make a hard turn right to save the business. If my theory that money trumps all else is correct, even ideology, then it must occur soon to save the business, and prove my theory correct.
LEANING? LEANING?
I suppose that the Socialist Worker “leans” Left too.
The first job of an editor is to ensure proper grammar. The SF Chronicle should go down in flames for letting in split infinitives. Probably they just want Saunders to look bad.
“Liberal newspapers helped build conservative media.”
So true and a message worth repeating over and over again.
The trouble with reporting is that it’s too dull and boring, everyone envisions himself a knowledgeable pundit with something important to say — the only true reporting today is by the obituary writer.
MAY THE BITTER END COME SWIFTLY
At almost all newspapers, they might as well put a rack of soup bowls by the door. They can just drop off their brain on the way out, and pick up one off the rack when they return the next day - no labels needed, since the intelligence and reasoning processes are identical for all of them!
I think all of this starts at the top. The guy who writes the checks controls what gets printed in the rags. And the guy who writes the checks wants leftist tripe. So that’s what’s there.
Bingo!!! The whole idea that there could or even should be an unbiased media is nonsense and a relatively recent invention (ever wonder why some newspapers have Democrat or Republican in their names?). Give me several outlets that readily admit there editorial outlook and I'll figure it out for myself.

The motto of the lib newspapers appears to be...Do not go softly into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dieing of the light.
I’ve often found it odd that liberalism consistently wins at elections and the polls, but consistently loses in the marketplace.
One explanation could be that those with money to spend are not representative of the population as a whole.
Another might be that the elections and polls are tilted in a certain direction.
Both factors could be operating at once.
They’ve leaned left for so long their right leg has grown 6 extra inches...
Journalists, reporters and editors are liberal because they were “educated” in colleges that have been overrun by socialist profs.
Won't work. The Chronic is doomed. San Francisco is the most leftest city in the U.S., and the SFC is amongst the most leftest papers in the U.S., and yet the Chronic can't sell enough papers to stay alive.
Yes, their biggest problem is the destruction of the the newspaper paradigm by the Internet, but somehow, it seems lefties simply don't buy newspapers as much as conservatives. I suspect that is partially because, as a group, lefties are younger and more freshly indoctrinated from our Ward Churchillized universities. Also, I suspect that lefties don't need to read quite as much as conservatives, already knowing everything there is to know and already having their minds permanently made up on all subjects. I might point out that this latter surmise is based on personal observation.
Oh well, back to the subject. At least Debra Saunders will land on her feet, distinguishing herself from the herd of job-seeking former Chronic employees by being a rational, intelligent, and articulate being.
