The Albuquerque Journal publishes an OP-Ed piece today by one James M. Taylor. Just under the headline and by-line, we read "from the Los Angeles Times." At the bottom, Mr. Taylor is identified as managing editor of "Environment & Climate News" and a fellow at the Heartland Insitute.
The essay condemns an attempted federal "land grab" in the Conservation and Reinvestment Act."
That may well be the case. But don't you think the Journal should alert readers to the fact that "Environment & Climate News" is published by the Heartland Institute, which is praised on its own web site as an effective "Libertarian" organization?
I do. I think that would help readers think about the arguments in the Op-Ed.
