re: #260 Backwoods_Sleuth

I just don’t understand this tendency toward labeling papers and other sources as liberal or conservative or whatever. I fail to see how that remotely enters into a discussion about something completely unrelated. Unless, of course, the person making such labels has an ulterior agenda to dismiss a source just because.

I think because of the days when they were more transparent about it. Back in Revolutionary Times, everyone knew which papers had owners or financial supporters in politics . I’m totally hazy on the specifics of history on this one.

Anyone remember —Ben Franklin actually was a printer, Jefferson and Adams???
