Rule One of wing-nut commentary - attack the messenger. Check!<br /><br />As for using "right wing" as a descriptor, I admit you have more options than me. As a useful tool for that group, you can use terms like "buddies", "home-team" and "fund-providers". <br />Mike Plaistedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184502941014520240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20755638.post-49639049656400605232014-06-26T12:09:41.221-05:002014-06-26T12:09:41.221-05:00I propose a drinking game.

But you can't peg one board member for scorn. Maybe, maybe not any given editorial board member is pushing an agenda, but it's just as likely they are not.
