PRESS: Opinions in news

| June 2, 2021 1:00 AM

In your article “McGeachin bans mask mandates” the Coeur d’Alene Press stated “McGeachin is on the far right of the political spectrum, even by Idaho standards.”

Who did you poll to identify “Idaho standards” and what is your definition of “far right?” I thought I might better understand your definition of “far right” by reading some of your articles about “far left” individuals but, after using your online search capabilities, I find zero results of the Coeur d’Alene Press ever labeling a person as “far left.”

Odd. One might come to the conclusion that the anonymous “staff” are biased and only label those individuals to their right.

Editor’s note: Beverly is correct. That sentence, from an AP article, is editorializing and should not have been published unattributed in a news story.
