Tom,
   So you're insinuation is that the Village Voice is a conservative, traditionalist, rightwing publication?
   
   Please Tom, really.
  
  Also, this is not news it's commentary. 
  
  There is a crucial difference. 
  You see, commentary, editorials and many columns are opinion pieces.   
  
  When you encounter one that you consider to be "slanted" that is a good sign. 
  That means that you are correctly understanding that the writer has point of view on a situation or issue.  A point of view that he or she is attempting to communicate to you the reader. 
   Best,
    TL

WOW!

The Village Voice. A slightly slanted editorial paper that I place about a 
year or so ahead of the Credenda/Agenda on the evolution chart.

No thanks. I will stick to a more reliable news source. Now where is my April 
issue of Playskool?

only a
matter of time until political insiders in Washington face the dread reality 
that the
junior senator from Massachusetts doesn't have what it takes to win and has got 
to go. As
arrogant and out of it as the Democratic political establishment is, even these 
pols know
the party's got to have someone to run against George Bush. They can't exactly 
expect the
president to self-destruct into thin air.

his
uninspiring record in the Senate (yes war, no war), and wishy-washy efforts to 
mimic Bill
Clinton's triangulation gimmickry (the protractor factor), Kerry sinks day by 
day. The
pros all know that the candidate who starts each morning by having to explain 
himself is a
goner.

Then they
can return to business as usual—resurrecting John Edwards, who is still hanging 
around, or
staging an open convention in Boston, or both.
