I’ve been thinking about how the Times can’t keep it’s editorial position separate from it’s reporting.
We see them using their publication to hurt candidates with front page articles that are political in nature. We see bias in many of their political and governmental articles. There was a day when we could expect them to keep their opinions confined to the editorial section.
News articles were supposed to be fair and balanced. Maybe what they should do is publish what little fair reporting they can offer on the editorial page. They could use the rest of their newspaper to spew their opinions and biases. That way we could turn to the single news page and trust that it was accurate and fair. We could read the rest of the paper for entertainment.
An alternative is that they could publish an extra edition once a month or so. This edition would have fair reporting.
Unfortunately when I ask people what they think of a particular article in the Times I am hearing “I don’t read the El Paso Times” more and more.
We deserve better

Like the national mainstream media – which does not just report the news – they editoralize the news – the EP Times is just following national trends. I can’t recall the last time a newspaper just covered the news. Our local TV news does the same thing – they slant towards opinion when they report the news. The public has accepted it so they do it. And you are correct – I don’t know anyone that reads the paper – they do the Jumble and the crossword puzzle and that’s it.

Right on the mark.

The El Paso Times is a joke. There is no longer any substance to the paper. They clearly do not employ editors, and it is very self-serving to the corrupt city council. WHY WOULD ANYONE READ IT?
