Wash Post Editor Denies Bias

December 15th, 2005 12:28 PM

Washington Post Associate Editor Robert G. Kaiser conducted an online chat with readers. A questioner from Toledo remarked that it is "amazing to see the variety of locales people are writing from, and the diversity of opinion in a relatively liberal newspaper."

Kaiser vigorously denied the paper was liberal.

This is NOT a 'relatively liberal newspaper.' This is the Web site of the Washington Post, where all shades of opinion are welcome all the time, as they are on The Post's op-ed page (heavily populated by conservative commentators, among others) and our Sunday Outlook section.

Kaiser offered no defense of the A section, the place that has many "shades of opinion" all from the left.
