WATCHDOG: “Two wags of the tail! We have noted the more factual and well reasoned level of New Era editorials over the past few months and have had scant cause to take strong issue. Nevertheless, some of their syndicated columnists distort facts and do little but rant.”
As compared to the [Intelligencer Journal New Era] syndicated columnists that NEVER distort and NEVER rant??? IN YOUR DREAMS!!!
Both pages have their fair share of ‘home-teamers’ that push the envelope over the edge.
My question is…if Jim Burchik is the editorial page editor, and if Jim and Jack Brubaker write the ‘vast majority’ of the editorials…..what the heck does Pete Mekeel do as editor???
The combined Intel/New Era is a decidedly ‘progressive/liberal’ newspaper with the reporting staff and local ‘columnists’ far more left-leaning than right-leaning, which is odd considering the Republican majority in Lancaster county. Perhaps LNP prefers to market to the city demographics rather than the broader county. Just wondering
