Here's a great letter, but it doesn't even come close to leveling the playing field:
Your pre-election Sunday Opinion page (11/3) is typical of the daily liberal bias exhibited by your newspaper. The editorial, with few exceptions, urges voters to vote a straight Democratic ticket and to approve nearly all the proposed tax increases.
On the op-ed page, columnist Ellen Goodman extols the virtues of Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. Maureen Dowd is in her usual fit of anger with the Republicans (today she has selected Donald Rumsfeld as her target). And The Star's Rhonda Chriss Lokeman is pushing Paul Wellstone/Walter Mondale. The only thing missing is the harangue against President Bush from Molly Ivins.
The only conservative voice in the Opinion section, William Safire, does not demonize Democrats or push Republican candidates, but instead chooses to talk about world issues. This seems to be a recurring theme on the editorial page. Liberals attack the next person on their Republican hit list, while a lone conservative talks about substantive issues.
