Yesterday, I remarked that the Albuquerque Tribune is abandoning its traditional liberal stance and moving toward balance in both editorials and columnists.
In today’s Tribune, Editor Phil Casaus writes about that very subject. He says (if I read him correctly) that we cannot describe the Tribune as liberal or rightist. And he seems pleased.
It's a reasonable stance on the part of the Tribune. But it is too bad. The Albuquerque Journal, you see, isn’t balanced. It not only carries more right-wing views than left, including some far-out types, but offers only mild liberals.
So, as I was saying, the marketplace of ideas lists to the right.
