Roanoke Times Editorial Changes?

-
Roanoke Times, 3-9-11, Pg 8: RT Editor to join watchdog group.
-
One might be optimistic about the opportunity for change to a more moderate and centrist and fair and balanced persona at the editorial board of the Roanoke Times, however, given the track record of those who are the “choosers” exuberant optimism should be tempered.
-
For over 5 years and 1300 published items this blog is a testament to the deep rooted liberal and left-wing bias and slant of the Roanoke Times in both it’s editorial content and it’s selection of “news” from their fellow travelers. It’s as if they are totally unaware of News Corp (one of the largest news organization in the country) or other outlets of a contrarian view to theirs that they might embrace from time to time.
-
The departing editor lamented that some of his detractors confuse his opinion with his integrity. Perhaps that is true. If one has a major role in influencing public opinion through a “news” venue and that person has a ongoing and continuous track record of supporting left-wing, liberal and Democrat views at the expense of all other views, but at the same time insists that they are fair and balanced; perhaps the line between opinion and integrity does get blurred! And whose fault would that be?
-
The editorial change at the RT will probably be similar to the change of a unit of the French Foreign Legion in the Sahara Desert for 6 months. The Sergeant announces the good news: today we get a change of underwear! Antonine you change with Arnaud; Bertrand you change with Claude; Emile you change with Etienne!
-
The search for new editors should be very easy. NPR has made three of their people available: Vivian Schiller, Ron Schiller and Ellen Weiss. These three have demonstrated the sad state of slant and bias of not only NPR but of our current batch of biased and slanted journalists masquerading as real journalists. Physician heal thyself!
-
Perhaps all our liberal so called journalists should be required to take a course focused on Tim Russert who was a professional first; a Democrat second!
