The online edition has the same articles as the four-page tabloid. It would help if the editor would put dates with the online articles so we know which are current. Editor James Johann prints an analysis of Bham Herald guest columns that shows bias. He also prints the Herald editor's reply. Herald editor Shirley does not dispute the facts of Johann's analysis but says he should not think the cause of the Herald choice of guest columns is because of organization or conspiracy.

Indeed, but Herald editor Julie Shirley omits two other possible causes for the Herald's choices of which guest columns to print and not print. They are personal bias on the part of Herald editors and/or confusion and ineptitude. Take your choice. He reminds Shirley of the stupid column about a pet dog in Germany. It is worth your reading.

We keep a link to The Town Crier in the 'Whatcom' section of the right hand column. It is a serious effort by several local conservatives to bring some sanity to the political discussion. Something the Herald denies us.
