Paper Editor: Conservative Writers Resort to 'Cheap Personal Attacks on Obama'
Publius Forum ^ | 09/18/09 | Warner Todd Huston

I guess we know what the editor of the Montana Standard of southwestern Montana thinks about conservative members of the media; he doesn’t think much of them.

In the Standard’s announcement of the addition of columnist Byron York for a-once a-week column, Editor Gerry O’Brien was excited to tell his readers about their newest conservative columnist with some lovely praise of York’s style. York, O’Brien says, is wonderful because he doesn’t resort to “cheap personal attacks on President Obama” like all those other conservative columnists.

York, a staunch conservative, presents his arguments in a thoughtful, measured fashion, rather than resorting to cheap personal attacks on President Obama and others in the Democratic Party that seem to be the hallmark of the GOP these days, said Standard Editor Gerry O'Brien.
Well, there you have it. I guess we should be glad that Byron isn’t like his conservative brethren, eh?

It is also interesting to note that Editor O’Brien doesn’t seem all too concerned that folks can so easily come to understand that he is a partisan sort of fellow himself. So much for a newspaper that is non-partisan and only interested in the news.

Well, I guess we know THAT newspaper editor is a raging leftist. What ever happened to non-partisan "news"?

Hey there Mr. Huston: What goes around comes around.....you know, like all those liberal media outlets, to include yours, that resorted to “cheap attacks” against Palin, McCain, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

Should we call you a wambulance? =.=

Personal attacks? Did this person awaken from an eight-year coma on Jan. 20, 2009?

Pick any single editorial on Bush written by this same clown Editor. Guarantee his attacks on Bush were long on personal bile and short of fact.
