Stuart is a high-quality person who continues to work in an increasingly unsavory and untrusted profession. I'll hold judgement on if he can turn the blatant leftwing bias into something much more palatable for the masses. His predecessors were outright whores for the far left. Someday he'll wise up and get a respectable job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-75170749766801763382009-10-17T10:27:58.869-07:002009-10-17T10:27:58.869-07:00I read somewhere that the big news boss Melanie Si...I read somewhere that the big news boss Melanie Sill had worked at another newspaper with the new guy they hired to run the Op-Ed stuff.
