… at Powerline between John Hinderaker and Steve Lovelady of the Columbia Journalism Review about why newspapers are having so much financial difficulty. Hinderaker suggested that maybe if so many hadn’t taken to liberal crusading they would be doing better. Lovelady responded by pointing out the huge losses sustained by the “far-right” NY Post and Washington Times. Hinderaker wrote:

What I want to focus on is Lovelady’s political perspective: the Times and the Post are “truly far-right newspapers”? Only if your perspective is somewhere on the most leftward 5% of the political spectrum. Do you suppose that Lovelady would describe such liberal papers as the New York Times and Los Angeles Times as “truly far-left”? No, neither do I.
