Time for another balance check of the Bee's Commentary page. Wednesday's Commentary page contains 4 opinion pieces. The authors: Bob Herbert, Peter Schrag, Fabian Nunez, and, Kathryn Jean Lopez.
Bob Herbert is a liberal. Peter Schrag is the long-time left-leaning Bee editorial writer (now retired). Fabian Nunez, speaker of the California Assembly, is a liberal Democrat. Only Lopez, the writer at National Review Online, is a conservative.
So here is your Bee balance today: 75% left-of-center, 25% right-of-center.
Public editor Armando Acuna claims the Bee's editorial pages aren't knee-jerk liberal. But in reality, the Bee almost never achieves the "balance" Acuna suggests.
